Business aviation professionals are encouraged to apply now for this year’s round of NBAA scholarships, which offer close to $100,000 each in monetary and training awards. While some may think their chances of receiving a scholarship are low or that they are not worthy of an award, four past scholarship recipients strongly encourage potential applicants to dismiss those doubts and apply. “[Scholarships] can really change the trajectory of your career,” emphasizes 2022 NBAA C&W Family Scholarship recipient Anne Williams. “It’s been nothing but a blessing, and the relationships and friendships that have come out of it are lifelong.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Susan Feuer, owner services coordinator, Tradewind Aviation and recipient of NBAA’s 2022 Schedulers and Dispatchers Scholarship
- Kenny Mazingo, business development manager, Four Corners Aviation and the 2022 NBAA Cheri Rudd Memorial Scholarship recipient
- Christopher Rozum, fixed-wing captain with a Northeast-based operator and recipient of NBAA’s 2022 IOC Scholarship
- Anne Williams, aircraft dispatcher and trip coordinator, Pentastar Aviation and the 2022 NBAA C&W Family Scholarship recipient
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
