Awards Available: 4
Award Deadline: Aug 15, 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.
