One Winner Recieving A Match From North Dakota Aerospace
Foundation
The NBAA is
awarding scholarships to five college students studying
aviation-related curricula at NBAA and University Aviation
Association (UAA) member institutions under the NBAA/UAA Janice K.
Barden Aviation Scholarship program.
The 2011 recipients include:
- Elyse Hildebrandt, a junior majoring in aviation flight science
at Western Michigan University. She is inspired in her career path
by her grandfather, who served as a fighter pilot in World War
II.
- Amber Lloyd, a junior at Purdue University majoring in
professional flight technology with a minor in Japanese. She is
planning a career as a professional pilot with a company that has
an international presence.
- Nicole Maillet, a senior majoring in aviation management at
Florida Institute of Technology, who gained a passion for aviation
after taking a Young Eagles flight.
- Zachary Waller, a senior at the University of North Dakota
majoring in unmanned aircraft. He has a private pilot’s
license and has been involved with gathering research for the FAA
by operating a CropCam.
- Charles Zera, a senior majoring in flight science at Western
Michigan University. His love of flying began the day he took a
flight in a Stearman after winning a radio-controlled aircraft
competition.
In addition to the main awards, this year, the University of
North Dakota Aerospace Foundation is matching the Barden
scholarship for Zachary Waller.
This scholarship is named for Aviation Personnel International
founder Janice K. Barden, who has been active in the aviation
community for decades and has served many times as the Local
Committee chair of NBAA's Annual Meeting & Convention.
Applications for the 2012 NBAA/UAA Janice K. Barden Aviation
Scholarship were released earlier this year and are due to NBAA by
November 1, 2011.
