Grant To Go To A Student Pursuing A Career In Aviation At An Arizona School

Angel MedFlight Worldwide Air Ambulance says the 2010 Angel MedFlight Scholarship for Excellence in Aviation will be awarded in August, and the recipient will receive $3,000 toward his or her tuition for an aviation-related program at an Arizona college or university.

Candidates for scholarship have only three more weeks to prepare their submissions. All entries must be postmarked by July 16th to be considered for the 2010 award. Angel MedFlight established the scholarship in conjunction with the Arizona Business Aviation Association (AZBAA) to promote leadership and resourcefulness in students pursuing a degree in an aviation-related program at an Arizona college or university.

“Angel MedFlight has always been committed to excellence through innovation," said Angel MedFlight President Jeremy Freer. "We believe that the future success of aviation will depend not only on the intelligence of our next generation of industry leaders, but also on their determination and resourcefulness. Therefore, we launched this scholarship to reward individuals who demonstrate the tenacity and ability to rise above a challenging circumstance to pursue an aviation-related career.”

Applicants must prepare a three minute video biography addressing the following items: the importance of an aviation career to them, a description of a situation where they overcame adversity, and improvements they would like to see in Arizona’s aviation industry. Candidates should submit the video biography along with a completed and signed application, resume and three letters of recommendation.

The scholarship will be awarded to a U.S. citizen without regard to sex, race, religion or national origin. Scholarship funds will be paid directly to recipient’s college or university. The student must be actively pursuing a degree in the aviation field.
