The A. Scott Crossfield Aerospace Education Teacher Award (the Crossfield Award) was founded in 1986 by NAHF enshrinee, engineer and test pilot A. Scott Crossfield (1921-2006). Positively influenced by teachers in his life, Crossfield created the annual award to recognize an exemplary K-12 American classroom teacher for innovative use of aerospace to inspire young people toward a greater interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects and potential aerospace-related careers.
Presented annually by the NAHF, the Crossfield Award pays tribute to teachers who go above the norm to conduct outstanding aerospace educational programs in the classroom and beyond.
