Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship 2024
GlobalAir.com is passionate about supporting the future of aviation. Whether students are training to become a professional pilot who flies for a living or those who are training for the pure satisfaction of obtaining their license, we want to help them achieve their goals. The Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship will provide $1,000 annually to four American students who are dedicated to blogging on a weekly basis about flight training, flying, school, and their interest in aviation.
By partnering with students in university aviation programs throughout the United States, we hope to provide a scholarship that is beneficial to the student, as well as provide a platform for them to share their experiences while training for a successful future in the aviation industry.
The platform helps connect the student pilot with a large online aviation community of pilots, engineers, flight departments, as well as serve as act as a recruitment tool for the school itself.
Submissions will be accepted starting March 1, 2024. The deadline for application submissions is August 15, 2024.
High Flight
"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
August 1941
