UT Aerospace Engineering graduate student Anand Karpatne was selected to receive the Vertical Flight Foundation (VFF) Scholarship given by the American Helicopter Society (AHS).
The Vertical Flight Foundation was established in 1967 as the philanthropic arm of the American Helicopter Society. In 1977, the Foundation established a scholarship program for promising undergraduate and graduate students who plan to pursue careers in vertical flight.
The scholarship committee considered several different factors before selecting a winner – work history, research, paper publications, a personal narrative, letters of reference, academics and extracurricular activities.
Kapartne will receive a $2,500 award at the 68th AHS Forum on May 2, 2012 in Fort Worth.
