Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship

GlobalAir.com is passionate about supporting the future of aviation. Whether students are training to become a professional pilot who flies for a living or those who are training for the pure satisfaction of obtaining their license, we want to help them achieve their goals. The Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship will provide $1,000 annually to four American students who are dedicated to blogging on a weekly basis about flight training, flying, school, and their interest in aviation.

By partnering with students in university aviation programs throughout the United States, we hope to provide a scholarship that is beneficial to the student, as well as provide a platform for them to share their experiences while training for a successful future in the aviation industry.

The platform helps connect the student pilot with a large online aviation community of pilots, engineers, flight departments, as well as serve as act as a recruitment tool for the school itself.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens currently enrolled in a fully accredited university aviation program (Commercial Aviation, Professional Pilot, Aviation Management, Airport Management, etc.) within the United States.

Applicants must be willing to write a 200-500 word blog post a minimum of once a week throughout the school year while at school (we would encourage students to continue with their blog after the school year has passed). Posts can be about aircraft, flying, ground training, weekend activities, internships, or anything that the student finds interesting and pertains to life in their particular aviation program.

APPLICATION PROCESS

In the essay, applicants must explain their interest in the career path they have chosen and how they plan to work towards their goals during the school year and demonstrate how they will stay consistent with the blog's weekly deadline.
