Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc., a leading global provider of outsourced aviation logistics, announced today that it will award $50,000 in scholarships to the University of Alaska Anchorage. The needs-based scholarships will help offset education costs for students pursuing careers in the aviation industry. The award will include four $5,000 scholarships for students pursuing careers as aviation maintenance technicians and three $10,000 scholarships for those aspiring to become pilots.
This scholarship is going to have a profound impact on our program, improving our students’ ability to get through the program on time. So many of our students work full-time jobs trying to make ends meet and pay tuition. With support from Atlas Air, our students will get through the program quickly with a high level of skill, knowledge and preparation to work in Alaska.
