Award May Be Used For Supplies, Tuition For A&P
Students
Global voice and data communications developer ICG announced at
AEA 2008 last week it will donate $2,000 to the Professional
Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) Foundation, to fund its
annual Brian Bennett Scholarship. The contribution was presented by
ICG Vice President of Product Sales Jeff Saucedo to PAMA Board
Chairman Clark Gordon and new PAMA President John Casker during a
ceremony at ICG’s exhibit (below).
“ICG is pleased to offer a tangible example of our strong
support for PAMA and its educational and certification
programs,” Saucedo said. “This check, which has been
designated for this year’s Brian Bennett Scholarship,
actually represents the generosity and creativity of our Marketing
Department and the respondents who took part in a product and
services survey they conducted earlier this year. ICG’s
surveyors agreed to donate $50 to the fund for each person who
participated in the telephone survey. We thank them—and the
people who took the time to answer their questions for making this
donation possible.”
The Brian Bennett Scholarship is named for the son of Richard
Bennett, one of the original founders of the PAMA scholarship
program. Brian was an aviation maintenance technology student at
Southwestern Michigan College when his life was cut short by an
accident.
PAMA states through this annual scholarship, Bennett's
commitment to learning everything he could about aviation
maintenance and the industry, along with his unbridled enthusiasm
for his studies, continues as an inspiration to Airframe,
Powerplant, and Avionics students who have selected aviation
maintenance as a career.
The award may be used for tuition, fees, books or supplies
directly related to the recipient’s A&P program.
