The AEMA award is available to qualifying high school seniors who plan to continue their education at an accredited college, university, technical school, or vocational school. The Geraldine K. Morris Award is available to a graduating high school senior who intends to enroll in a program leading to a nursing degree or certification. Applicants may apply for both of the awards, if qualified, but can only be awarded one of the scholarships.
The AEMA award was established in 1973 as a living memorial to Army Engineer Officers killed in Vietnam and is given annually to honor all Engineer Officers who died in the line of duty. This award are open to students in all fields of study.

The awardee must be enrolled in a program leading to a nursing degree or nursing certification. The Geraldine K. Morris Award is renewable annually, based on GPA, provided a student maintains full-time enrollment in a nursing program.
