Ad Astra Foundation Proudly Announces New AVCAT Scholarship Sponsorship
The Ad Astra Foundation Ltd—an initiative of the Air Force Association NSW—is proud to announce its sponsorship of a new AVCAT scholarship, launching in 2026. This partnership reflects the Foundation’s enduring commitment to supporting the education of children and partners of Australian veterans.
With full tax concessions now in place, the Foundation is advancing its core mission: to support retired and serving Air Force personnel, their families, and the broader veteran community. By partnering with AVCAT, Ad Astra is taking meaningful action to honour service and empower those who’ve served—and those who stand beside them—with opportunity and support.
Ron Glew, President of the Ad Astra Foundation, shared:
“We chose to sponsor AVCAT because it directly empowers the families of our veteran community—a cause that sits at the heart of everything we do. Every initiative we support must reflect our core purpose: standing with veterans and their families, not just in recognition, but in real, lasting support.”
Len Russell, CEO of AVCAT, added:
“This partnership highlights AVCAT and the Ad Astra Foundation’s commitment to supporting tertiary education, pathways to independence and improved well-being for veteran families.”
