NBAA's S&D Committee offers scholarships through two
separate but related programs that specifically promote
professional and career development for business aviation
schedulers and dispatchers.
Through the Schedulers & Dispatchers Scholarship Program,
the Committee offers cash grants, which can be used for a variety
of professional development initiatives. Since 1997, more than
$300,000 has been awarded to schedulers and dispatchers through
this program.
A separate Schedulers & Dispatchers Training Scholarship
Program, initiated in 2004, offers opportunities for scholarship
recipients to gain access to hands-on teaching initiatives.
