Celebrates 50 Year Partnership With Gulfstream
Rolls-Royce recently marked 50 years
of partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation -- the longest
partnership in business aviation -- by establishing a 50th
Anniversary Partnership Scholarship Program for eligible children
of Gulfstream's employees.
Under the terms of this new Scholarship Program, Rolls-Royce
will provide an annual stipend of $1,500 for each of the winners'
four years of college.
This Scholarship Program is offered through the National Merit
Scholarship Program, an annual academic competition open to all US
high school students who meet published participation
requirements. The National Merit Scholarship Program is
conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation
(NMSC). Candidates for the 50th Anniversary Scholarship
Program must meet all eligibility requirements as defined by NMSC
and have a parent employed by Gulfstream. Winners are
determined by NMSC and are judged to have the strongest combination
of academic skills and achievements, extracurricular
accomplishments and potential for success in rigorous college
studies.
The new Scholarship Program was announced at a ceremony in
Savannah, GA on Wednesday, celebrating the two companies'
long-standing success in the corporate aircraft market.
Over the past five decades, Rolls-Royce has powered 13
Gulfstream business jets, and has delivered more than 3,500 Dart,
Spey, Tay and BR710 engines. No other civil aerospace customer has
received more engines from Rolls-Royce.
Gulfstream's first business aircraft, the GI, made its maiden
flight powered by Rolls-Royce Dart engines more than 50 years ago.
This year, the two companies continued the legacy of establishing
new milestones in style with the unveiling of the latest, all-new
business jet, the Rolls-Royce BR725-powered Gulfstream G650.
