NBAA, in coordination with NBAA Charities, has established the Cheri Rudd Memorial Scholarship to benefit business aviation professionals in search of advanced customer service training.
The scholarship was created to honor the memory of Cheri Rudd, an NBAA employee and the voice of NBAA for almost 30 years. Her dedication and commitment were an inspiration to all who benefited from her direction and assistance.
NBAA Charities will annually award up to $2,500 to up to two business aviation professionals. Applicants must show a passion for life-long learning and demonstrate superior customer service skills, as Cheri Rudd did.
Awards will be made to U.S. citizens or permanent residents without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, genetic information, disability, matriculation, or political affiliation.
NBAA scholarship applicants are limited to receiving one award per person, every other year. For instance winners of a scholarship in 2024 are not eligible in 2025, but will be in 2026.
For all NBAA Charities scholarships, applicants are limited to receiving one award per person, per year.
