The Rager Foundation Expands Scholarship Program to Support Eagle Scouts in Higher Education

Published

on

Wilmington, Delaware , March 07, 2025 – The Rager Foundation, a Wilmington-based nonprofit dedicated to educational advancement, has announced the expansion of its scholarship program to assist Eagle Scouts in pursuing higher education. As tuition costs continue to rise, the foundation aims to provide financial relief to these distinguished individuals, reinforcing its commitment to fostering leadership and academic excellence.

With a mission to strengthen educational opportunities and technological progress in Delaware, The Rager Foundation has played a pivotal role in community development. By extending financial support to Eagle Scouts, the foundation acknowledges their dedication, resilience, and contributions to society, ensuring that young leaders have the resources needed to succeed in higher education.

Jason Rager, the founder and board member of The Rager Foundation, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in January 2003. Reflecting on his journey, Rager emphasized the significance of this milestone, stating, “Becoming an Eagle Scout shaped my leadership skills and sense of responsibility. Higher education is increasingly expensive, and through this scholarship program, we aim to assist Eagle Scouts in overcoming financial obstacles on their academic paths.”

Attaining the rank of Eagle Scout requires extensive leadership, perseverance, and commitment to community service. Candidates complete rigorous projects while balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and often employment. These experiences cultivate crucial life skills such as time management, problem-solving, and resilience—qualities that contribute to success in both higher education and professional careers. Mr. Rager went on to form Rager Capital Partners and now manages a family office.

The escalating costs of college tuition, which can range from $20,000 to $70,000 annually, pose a significant financial challenge for many students and their families. The Rager Foundation’s expanded scholarship program seeks to bridge this gap by supporting Eagle Scouts who have demonstrated academic excellence, leadership, and community involvement, ensuring they have the financial assistance needed to achieve their educational goals.

Eligible Eagle Scouts are invited to apply for the scholarship, which is open to undergraduate and graduate students with a strong record of leadership and service. Applications can be submitted through The Rager Foundation’s official website at https://ragerfoundation.org/, where detailed eligibility criteria and application forms are available. The foundation encourages all qualified candidates to take advantage of this opportunity to advance their education and career aspirations.

Established to support educational initiatives and technological growth, The Rager Foundation remains committed to empowering individuals and families throughout Delaware. Through strategic fundraising and community partnerships, the foundation has successfully supported numerous organizations and initiatives that contribute to regional development, reinforcing its dedication to creating a brighter future through education.

Jenelyn O. Pacamara Leads Initiative to Transform STEM Education Equity in the United States

Published

on

Jenelyn O. Pacamara, an accomplished science educator and curriculum leader, is spearheading a transformative initiative to address one of America’s most urgent educational challenges: the chronic shortage of qualified science and physics teachers in underserved K–12 schools.

Jenelyn O. Pacamara Leads Initiative to Transform STEM Education Equity in the United States

St Joseph, Missouri, United States, 2nd May 2025 – Drawing from her extensive background in STEM education and professional development both in the USA and the Philippines, Pacamara has authored a comprehensive proposal titled “Developing Scalable Physics and Science Teacher Training Programs to Expand Equitable Access to Quality STEM Education in Underserved K–12 Schools in the U.S.A.” The plan presents a visionary, research-based model to recruit, prepare, and retain science educators in high-need districts across the country.

“The future of the United States STEM workforce depends on who has access to quality science instruction today,” Pacamara states. “By equipping and empowering educators in our most underserved schools, we take a definitive step toward leveling the playing field.”

Pacamara’s initiative addresses the STEM teacher crisis with a multipronged approach that includes:

  • Targeted Recruitment of early-career educators and in-service teachers seeking certification in physics.
  • Rigorous Curriculum Development aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
  • Immersive Summer Institutes for content mastery and pedagogical training; –
  • Year-long Mentorship and Instructional Coaching to support real-world classroom implementation.
  • Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to sustain collaboration and peer-driven innovation.
  • Credentialing Support and Pathways to Advanced Degrees, enhancing both quality and longevity in the profession.

Her approach also integrates culturally responsive pedagogy, equity-centered instructional practices, and low-cost laboratory design to meet the unique needs of under-resourced classrooms.

The anticipated outcomes include a dramatic increase in certified science and physics teachers in high-need schools, improved student outcomes in STEM, and sustained teacher retention. Furthermore, Pacamara’s vision includes a scalable infrastructure that empowers program alumni to become future trainers and policy influencers, extending the program’s reach beyond its initial cohorts.

With her background as a teacher, researcher, and academic contributor, Jenelyn O. Pacamara exemplifies a new generation of STEM education leaders dedicated to actionable equity and systemic change.

Aerial Defense Systems Launches ADS DroneTracker™: Affordable Drone Detection Aligned with Oregon HB 3426

Published

Aerial Defense Systems Launches ADS DroneTracker™: Affordable Drone Detection Aligned with Oregon HB 3426

United States, 2nd May 2025  — As Oregon’s emergency response landscape adapts to the passage of House Bill 3426 (HB 3426), Aerial Defense Systems (ADS) has unveiled a timely and powerful solution for public safety professionals: the ADS DroneTracker™ — a compact, real-time drone and pilot detection device designed to help agencies stay compliant, proactive, and protected.

Aerial Defense Systems Launches ADS DroneTracker™: Affordable Drone Detection Aligned with Oregon HB 3426

With the rise in unauthorized drone interference over wildfires and emergency operations, HB 3426 establishes strict felony penalties for drone operators who interfere with firefighting, law enforcement, and search-and-rescue missions. In response, ADS has introduced a purpose-built tool that enables emergency managers, fire marshals, and public safety officials to detect airborne threats, identify pilot locations, and maintain full awareness of unauthorized drone activity in restricted zones.

“Emergency response teams are under more pressure than ever to manage airspace safety,” said Jeff Meining, founder of Aerial Defense Systems. **”The ADS DroneTracker™ gives them real-time situational awareness without the high costs or complexity of traditional systems.”

Meeting the Mandate of Oregon HB 3426

HB 3426 comes in direct response to real-world threats. During the 2024 wildfire season, the National Interagency Fire Center reported 21 drone incursions over active fires, forcing aircraft to ground in 10 of those incidents. The new law establishes a Class C felony for intentional drone interference and expands the state’s definition of protected airspace.

Aerial Defense Systems Launches ADS DroneTracker™: Affordable Drone Detection Aligned with Oregon HB 3426

This creates both a regulatory burden and a call to action for emergency response agencies. The ADS DroneTracker™ provides an accessible, field-deployable solution that empowers teams to monitor, assess, and document drone activity in real time — helping support enforcement of HB 3426 while improving operational safety.

Key Features of the ADS DroneTracker™:

  • Detects All Broadcast Remote ID Signals: Including drones from DJI, Autel, Parrot, and more.
  • Pinpoints Drone & Pilot Locations: Instant situational intel via secure mobile app.
  • No Setup, No Wi-Fi Required: Fully portable with LTE, USB-C, and Bluetooth options.
  • Alert System: On-device visual, audible, and mobile alerts.
  • Field-Proven Design: Lightweight and rugged, built for deployment in wildfire zones, events, and tactical operations.

Affordable Drone Detection for Emergency Managers

Unlike traditional counter-UAS systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring installation, the ADS DroneTracker™ is engineered for affordability and simplicity. It puts airspace awareness in the hands of emergency personnel without draining budgets.

“Our goal was to create a tool that’s as effective in the field as it is affordable,” ADS added. “We knew emergency managers and fire response teams needed something they could trust and actually use without needing IT or training specialists.”

With agencies now facing the legal obligations under HB 3426, ADS DroneTracker™ offers a scalable entry point for:

  • Local Fire Departments
  • Incident Command Teams
  • Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)
  • Police Departments
  • Event Security Coordinators

Free Field Trials & Airspace Awareness Starter Kit

To support early adoption and education, ADS is offering a “Try Before You Buy” field trial program for qualified public safety agencies and event coordinators. The Airspace Awareness Starter Kit includes:

  • 1x ADS DroneTracker™ detection unit
  • Mobile app access
  • Remote onboarding
  • Free trial Period

Agencies can book a demo or request a trial kit at:
www.AerialDefenseSystems.com/airspace-awareness-starter-kit

Positioned for Compliance, Preparedness, and Safety

HB 3426 may mark Oregon’s most aggressive drone enforcement legislation to date, but experts predict similar bills in wildfire-prone states like California, Washington, and Arizona. As federal drone detection guidelines evolve, public safety professionals need tools that help them enforce local laws, protect responders, and keep airspace clear during critical operations.

The ADS DroneTracker™ delivers all three.

For fire departments, law enforcement agencies, emergency planners, and public event managers, ADS now offers a scalable solution that directly aligns with Oregon’s legal mandates and operational realities.

About Aerial Defense Systems (ADS)

ADS is a veteran-founded provider of airspace security solutions specializing in portable drone detection, pilot tracking, and threat assessment systems. With a focus on accessibility, compliance, and real-time situational awareness, ADS supports emergency responders, public safety agencies, and infrastructure operators across the U.S.
