SCHOLARSHIP
GUIDELINES/REQUIREMENTS
Unlike fellowships, scholarship
programs are more significant in
scope, skill expectation and impact
on the career of the recipient. In
the past, such scholarships have
included Turbojet type ratings,
flight engineer rating, flight
officer training and initial flight
training grants. At the convention
in 2008 OBAP will broaden its
scholarship opportunities to not
just the pilot community, but to
other careers in the aviation
industry. This will start the
implementation of Project Aerospace
“Cradle to Career”.
There is no
reliable schedule that identifies
when scholarship offers will be
provided to OBAP, however, with our
website and the PIREP news, we will
provide notice of such opportunities
to our members in a timely manner.
Also, we will give our members
sufficient time to put together a
competitive package.
In the past, we have issued
scholarships to our members and left
it up to the member to find his/her
on training to satisfy the
scholarship requirement. This year
with every scholarship that is
issued, the recipient will be
assigned a mentor to assist the
recipient in making a sound decision
when utilizing the scholarship.
Submission Requirements
Each applicant must be an OBAP
member in good standing and may
apply for no more than two
scholarships. These requirements are
in addition to all stated specific
requirements for that particular
scholarship.
Selection Factors
Many factors are considered when
scholarship selections are made.
Some of the factors are but not
limited to the following;
Achievements, attitude toward
others, commitment to success,
financial need, and responsibility.
Awards
Congratulations to our 2008
Scholarship Winners!
