Student Gets $500 Toward College Studies
The National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA) announces the first recipient of the Avfuel
Michigan Business Aviation Scholarship, which was created earlier
this year. William Merriweather will receive $500 toward his
studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo (MI).
William Merriweather is a Western Michigan University senior who
is pursuing a B.S. in advanced aviation maintenance technology and
a minor in business management. As part of the Ronald McNair
Scholar's Program, his undergraduate student research project
analyzes factors affecting employment dynamics and organizational
structure in the maintenance field of aviation. He has served as
the maintenance representative on the Western Michigan Aviation
Student Council and is a founding member of the university's
Multicultural Association of Aviation Professionals. He intends to
eventually obtain his A&P certification and attend graduate
school.
In cooperation with corporate
sponsor Avfuel Corporation, NBAA offers the Avfuel Michigan
Business Aviation Scholarship to benefit a student pursuing an
aviation degree at an eligible Michigan college or university. This
scholarship will be annually awarded to an undergraduate or
graduate student who is officially enrolled in an aviation-related
program at any of the following Michigan schools: Andrews
University, Eastern Michigan University, Lansing Community College,
Northwestern Michigan College and Western Michigan University.
The Avfuel Michigan Business Aviation Scholarship is one of
several scholarships offered by NBAA to promote professional
development and business aviation careers.
