Educational Support Program

Furthering Education

The Army Engineer Association’s educational support program has become a cornerstone for advancing the skills and knowledge of Engineer Regiment members. While the Hobson STEM Scholarship program continues to stand as a pillar of support, our expanded initiative encompasses a broader scope of educational assistance, creating even greater opportunities for the Regiment.

Applications are accepted annually, with a submission deadline of June 30 to the AEA Executive Director. Engineer Regiment members, take advantage of this established program to elevate your career and education with the enduring support of the AEA!

Through the sponsorship of Trimble—a leading provider of advanced positioning solutions—both the Hobson STEM Scholarship and our enhanced support program are empowering our members on their educational journeys.
