MedEvac Foundation International
Children’s Scholarship Fund
The MedEvac Foundation International is an international nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization
headquartered in the Washington, DC area. The Foundation helps the Association of Air Medical
Services (AAMS) represent the Air Medical and the Critical Care Ground Transport Industry. Since
2005, the MedEvac Foundation International has supported research, education, and outreach programs
that enhance the industry’s ability to provide quality medical care and provide safe and effective air
and ground medical transportation for every patient in need. We fund programs and charitable
activities that support AAMS’ members and their families, who serve their communities with pride and
commitment and provide life-saving services throughout the United States and around the world.
The Children’s Scholarship Fund was developed to provide financial assistance for higher education to
children who lost a parent in an air medical or critical care ground transport accident. We will fund
two scholarships (one for air medical and one for critical care transport) in the amount of $5,000 each
to a deserving student entering or enrolled in a college, university, or vocational-technical school.
