NBAA has selected two
students to receive the 2004 William M. Fanning Maintenance
Scholarship. Shannon Stuart Spangler and Anna Romer each will
receive $2,500 to further their education as they pursue careers as
aviation maintenance technicians.
Shannon Stuart Spangler currently attends Rock Valley College in
St. Charles, IL, where he is pursuing an Associate's degree in
applied science in aviation maintenance technology in preparation
for his FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) technician
certificates. He holds a degree in aviation management from Ohio
State University and has successfully completed the FlightSafety
International dispatcher course.
Anna Romer is entering the A&P program at Minneapolis Community
and Technical College, with the goal of becoming an aircraft
mechanic.
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. NBAA offers several scholarships to promote
professional development and business aviation careers.
