Two Stephen F. Austin State University students in the James I. Perkins College of Education’s aviation sciences program were awarded the Wings Over Houston Airshow scholarship for the 2024-25 academic year.  

Senior Johnna Edwards from Athens, Texas, and sophomore Sayer Swinford from Magnolia received the $1,000 scholarship intended to assist and reward students who have demonstrated academic potential, leadership and extracurricular involvement.

“Johnna is a leader among her peers and is always one of the first ones to step up to help the under classmates,” said Allen Wilson, SFA’s aviation program director. “Sayer is a natural born leader and promotes camaraderie and teamwork among his classmates. They’re both very deserving of this honor.”
