LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — The GlobalAir.com Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship is now accepting applications.
The scholarship will be awarded to four students enrolled in an accredited university/college aviation program during the 2020-2021 school year.
After its initial launch in 2014, a total of 24 aviation students have been awarded the scholarship, according to company officials.
Applications must include a letter of recommendation and a short essay. This essay should detail the applicant’s interest in aviation, future career path, and how they intend to complete their aviation program.
Scholarship recipients will be required to maintain a weekly blog in which they highlight their experiences with flight training, course work, and their continued participation in the aviation community.
In 2019, students from the University of Nebraska Omaha (Nicole Lund), Purdue University (Austin Fields), Southern Utah University (Savanna Paulsen), and Arizona State University (Cameron Sansone) were hand-selected by the scholarship committee to each receive the $1,000 award.
The scholarship will be awarded in increments of $250 twice during the fall semester and twice during the spring semester to fund flight fees and progress training.
Deadline to apply is Aug. 15, 2020. Scholarship winners will be notified no later than Sept. 1.
The application is at GlobalAir.com/Scholarships.
