The NBAA International Operators Committee is dedicated to promoting education and training as a means for individuals to enhance their safety knowledge and professionalism. To further this objective, NBAA Charities offers the International Operators Scholarship to benefit business aviation professionals engaged in international operations.
This scholarship applies mainly to those who are entering the business aviation industry or are seeking opportunities to expand their career in international operations. Scholarship recipients will be announced at the 2027 NBAA International Operators Conference, to be held from March 23-25, 2027, in New Orleans. Funds may be awarded for amounts up to $8,000 per applicant, and awards will be redeemable under the conditions established by NBAA and its donors. Applicants are limited to receiving one award per person every other year; i.e., recipients of the 2026 scholarship are not eligible to apply for the 2027 awards, but they will be eligible to apply again in subsequent years.
