NBAA and its Schedulers and Dispatchers Committee announced the recipients of its scholarships this week during the Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference in Long Beach, California. Abbie Fox, Lindsey Kaychok, Megan Knox, Zachary Krammer, Kasia Segieda, and Jessica Wicks collectively will receive $41,000 in S&D scholarships to aid their aviation careers through continuing education.

This year Carolina Aviation Professionals Association, Jet Aviation, Million Air, Phillips 66, Rockwell Collins, Signature Flight Support, SkyVector, and Universal Weather & Aviation contributed to the scholarships. NBAA and its Schedulers and Dispatchers Committee offer scholarships through two interconnected programs. Each promotes professional and career development for business aviation schedulers and dispatchers.

The S&D Scholarship Program offers cash grants that can be used toward different professional development programs. The committee has awarded more than $700,000 in scholarships since 1997. Meanwhile, the S&D Training Scholarship Program provides opportunities for hands-on teaching initiatives.
