Four Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students have received
a scholarship from the Vertical Flight Foundation. Undergraduate student Colin
Hamilton and graduate students Ahmad Amer, Matthew Misiorowski, and Ariel
Walter are among just 26 students nationwide to receive this honor this year.

The foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of the
Vertical Flight Society, gives these merit-based scholarships to college
students “demonstrating an interest in pursuing engineering related careers in
vertical flight technology.”

All four recipients conduct research with the Center for Mobility with
Vertical Lift (MOVE) at Rensselaer. MOVE is dedicated to research
aimed at innovative development of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
