The NBAA Maintenance Committee is dedicated to promoting technical education and training as a means for business aviation maintenance technicians to enhance their careers. To support this position, NBAA offers current and
aspiring maintenance technicians the opportunity to receive Maintenance Technical Reward and Career Scholarships

CAE Training Solutions, GE Aviation, Global Jet Services, Inc., Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., Hawker Beechcraft Corp.,

and its sponsors, and applicants are limited to receiving one award per person every other year; i.e., recipients of the
2010 scholarship are not eligible to apply in 2011, but they will be eligible to apply again in 2012.
Recipients must complete all professional/educational training and redeem the award within one year from the date
