In Honoring Others – We Honor Ourselves!
AIAA is honored to honor you—the very best! A primary goal of the Institute is to recognize those who are making earthshaking achievements that make us stand up from our seats and cheer. Since the inception of AIAA Honors and Awards Program, collectively we’ve recognized thousands of your colleagues for their meritorious achievements, technical contributions, committed service, section participation, and loyal membership.
Because shaping the future of aerospace is a community effort, AIAA is also flying high to partner with other societies for certain elite awards.
