GlobalAir.com Offering College Aviation Students Blog Writing Scholarship Annual scholarship provides platform for students to share their experiences. July 28, 2015 – After a successful launch of the inaugural Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation scholarship program in 2014, Globalair.com announced during Oshkosh Airventure 2015 it will continue offering its blog writing scholarship to students enrolled in any accredited University Aviation Program for the 2015-2016 school year. Four students will be accepted into the program that entails writing weekly blogs sharing their flight training or aviation management experiences while being awarded a scholarship of $250 twice a semester, equaling a total award of $1,000. Jeff Carrithers, President and CEO of Globalair.com, explains, “We want to be able to give support to college students studying aviation, as well as provide them a way to share their experiences with peers in the industry. I believe it is extremely important for them to have a way to introduce themselves to the industry and begin networking now as they initiate their careers in such a fast-paced field.” Students in the inaugural launch included Tori Williams, Hayley Haning, and Matt Jones, who are all studying to become professional pilots at Eastern Kentucky University. Their weekly blog posts helped them to reflect on their training, and share advice and ideas with fellow pilots. Their $1,000 scholarship awards went towards flight fees and progressing in their training. The application process for the program involves a short essay detailing their career path, letter of recommendation and proof of enrollment. Scholarship recipients will be chosen based on these qualifications and they will be notified of winning by mid-August, when many go back to school and their blogs officially begin. The GlobalAir.com Scholarship Team is welcoming any qualified and passionate aviation student to apply before August 10th to be considered for the opportunity. You can access the application page at: https://www.globalair.com/scholarships/ Colleges or students that would like more information about the program can email Tori Williams at [email protected]. Any questions or comments will be responded to in a timely manner. We are looking forward to working with the next generation of Aviation Professionals!
