OLTMANN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP


Thank you to everyone who applied. We will begin accepting applications on December 1st, 2021!

(1) $5,000 ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP

J. Richard Oltmann is an amusement industry icon. Richard dedicated his life to the betterment of the industry. In 2010, Mr. Oltmann was acknowledged with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA). “It is my passion to give back all that I have learned to make this industry a better place than when I started,” he said when presented with the award. Mr. Oltmann lost his courageous battle with cancer on May 30, 2015. In keeping with his passion and focus on education, his family has worked with the American Amusement Machine Charitable Foundation (AAMCF) to establish a memorial scholarship fund. The AAMCF is honored to be a part of continuing Richard’s legacy. We are no longer accepting applications for the 2021 scholarship.
