Careers in Aviation is pleased to announce that Flight Training Services International (FTSI) has made a very generous $125,000 donation to the organization. This money was set up as an endowment to assist students with their dreams of working in the aerospace industry. As an endowment, the money will provide annual scholarships for students to complete their education.
“We are excited to assist students in furthering their education in the aerospace industry,” said Shawn Raker, President and CEO of FTSI. “Our company has deep roots in aviation and we look forward to helping further the industry that we all know is in great need of assistance.”
The first FTSI Scholarship will be awarded in the fall of 2008. The requirements of the scholarship highlight the partnership between Careers in Aviation and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, as the student must attend the university.
For further information, students should refer to the Careers in Aviation website at http://www.careersinaviation.org/. The precise details and requirements are posted along with the scholarship application.
As a benevolent, non-profit organization, Careers in Aviation, Inc. (http://www.careersinaviation.org/) assists students to explore the wide variety of opportunities in aviation.
