Dr. Charles Coale Award Winners

Dr. Coale served as the General Chairman of the AMS for more than 20 years and deserves credit for its continued success. He played an active part in its leadership until his unfortunate passing in August, 1997. Dr. Coale was a very special person with many significant technical accomplishments while working at Lockheed, a passion for living, and a deep abiding interest in the development of young people. The Dr. Charles Coale Award was established to help young individuals who have the potential of making significant contributions to the fields of science, medicine and/or engineering in the not-too-distant future. The award funded a deserving student to attend a US Space or Robotics Camp for many years, and starting in 2022, funds several FIRST robotics teams.
