The
NBAA has selected two students to receive the 2002 NBAA William M.
Fanning Maintenance Scholarship. Daniel J. Berdan and Steven J.
LaMourea each will receive $2,500 to further their education as
they pursue careers as aviation maintenance technicians.
Daniel J. Berdan is a student enrolled in the aviation airframe
and powerplant program at Northland Community and Technical College
in Thief River Falls, MN. A dean's list student, Phi Theta Kappa
honor society member and vice president of the school's
Professional Aviation Maintenance Association chapter, Berdan
expects to graduate in May 2003.
Steven J. LaMourea was accepted for enrollment in
the aviation maintenance program at Northland Community and
Technical College in 2002. He has experience as a line service and
maintenance assistant working at Taconite Aviation in Hibbing, MN.
He also holds a B.S. degree in aviation from St. Cloud State
University and a private pilot certificate with instrument
rating.
This scholarship was named in honor of retired NBAA Staff member
William M. Fanning, who was active in maintenance issues during his
nearly 20-year tenure at the Association. Through the Fanning
Maintenance Scholarship, NBAA annually awards two $2,500
scholarship to applicants who are pursuing careers as maintenance
technicians. One award benefits a student who is currently enrolled
in an accredited A&P program at an approved Part 147 school.
The second award benefits an individual who is not enrolled but has
been accepted for enrollment in an approved A&P program at the
time of application.
