Globalair.com (Booth 4993), a Kentucky-based aviation information service that uses the Internet as its platform announced yesterday that it has awarded Calvin L. Carrithers scholarships, valued at $750 each, to Hayley Haning, Matt Jones and Daniel Patterson, all Eastern Kentucky University freshmen enrolled the school’s professional pilot program.

The annual recurring scholarship requires the students to keep weekly blogs about their flight-training progress. Jeff Carrithers, president and CEO of GlobalAir.com, said he hopes the blog platform will become a networking portal for student pilots and possibly even a recruitment tool for the university.
