NBAA does have over $100,000 in various scholarships for a career in business aviation but in most cases you must be a sophomore or higher in a field related to a career in corporate aviation. In certain cases, if you are starting a career in aircraft maintenance you may be eligible as a freshmen but in any case you must be accepted at a program that teaches toward a maintenance career. For most of the scholarships, you must be sophomore and have at least at 3.0 average. I encourage to continue on your quest and seek the grades that will make you eligible for the scholarships that are out there. I look forward to hearing from you next year. Below is a brief description of some other options you may consider.
