Support Available For Upgrades To Commercial Helicopter
Certificates
If you've done the math, you know it takes someone committed and
passionate to commit to training for a career in aviation today.
But scholarships help. Helicopter Association International's
Commercial Helicopter Rating Scholarship is specifically geared to
students currently in the process of obtaining their commercial
licenses. Up to four winners will be selected from qualified
applicants, and they will be invited to participate at Heli-Expo
2012 in Dallas, Texas.
This scholarship is funded by Helicopter Foundation
International and supporting organizations and individuals, and
provides up to $5,000 to assist a candidate who currently holds a
private helicopter pilot certificate to advance to commercial. A
primary determinant will be evidence of the applicant's skill and
ability to be a commercial helicopter pilot and interest in
pursuing a career as a pilot in the helicopter industry.
The deadline for submitting applications is November 30th.
Scholarships will be awarded in February, 2012.
Payment of scholarship monies is conditional upon receipt of
supporting documentation from the attended school that the student
has successfully completed the required coursework and has been
licensed and received an FAA Commercial Helicopter Pilot
Certificate from a certified FAA Part 141 school or international
equivalent.
Scholarship funds will only be applied to tuition costs.
Scholarship winners are responsible for their own transportation
and ancillary expenses such as books, meals and lodging.
