New Delhi, March 02, 2023: The GlobalAir.com Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship, which will provide four students $1,000 each towards their aviation training, is now open for applications.

After its initial launch in 2014, a total of 34 aviation students have been awarded the scholarship, many of whom are now making a positive impact in the aviation community.

The Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship is awarded to four students enrolled in an accredited collegiateaviation program in the United States during the 2023 – 2024 school year.

Applications must include a short essay and applicants have the option to include a letter of recommendation. This essay should detail the applicant’s interest in aviation, future career path, and how they intend to complete their aviation program.

Scholarship recipients will be required to maintain a weekly blog in which they highlight their experiences with flight training, course work, and their continued participation in the aviation community.

Recipients will also have the opportunity to contribute articles to the GlobalAir.com aviation news section. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with the company’s editorial team to hone their writing skills, learn reporting techniques, and enhance their personal brand through the company’s social media platforms.

In 2022, students from Texas Southern University (Katherine Cabrera), Western Michigan University (Jaxon Deur), Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide (Maddie Moles), and the University of North Dakota (Robert Wilson) were selected by the GlobalAir.com scholarship committee toreceive the scholarship.

These four students have contributed regularly to GlobalAir.com, writing articles that have reached thousands across the aviation industry and propelled their writing capabilities to the next level.

“This scholarship program has been a difference maker for many young aviators,” said Josh Coffman, Vice President of Content & SEO of GlobalAir.com. “It’s been fantastic to watch these students grow into pilots and then move on into corporate and commercial cockpits. At the same time, they have helped strengthen our product and improve what we offer to the aviation world while also finetuning their skills and learning more about their craft. We always try to tailor the program to fit the needs of the individual recipients and we cannot wait to see what next year’s class achieves.”

The scholarship committee is encouraging qualified and passionate aviation students to apply before the deadline of Aug. 15, 2023. Scholarship winners will be notified no later than Sept. 1 of their selection and acceptance into the program.
