Flightstar Announces Annual Scholarship and Interview Program with Institute of Aviation at Parkland College
Flightstar Corporation has entered into an agreement with the Institute of Aviation at Parkland College for a biannual scholarship program. Flightstar will donate $1,000 to a single student, per semester, for assistance with tuition, fees and/or books. Each recipient will be selected by the Institute of Aviation Scholarship committee.
In addition to the two annually awarded scholarships, Flightstar agrees to interview qualifying students or graduates of the Institute program for any upcoming pilot positions. Applicants must meet the requirements listed in the agreement to qualify for pilot position interviews.
“Flightstar and the Institute of Aviation have enjoyed a long standing relationship, this agreement only strengthens it. Coupled with the current pilot shortage, we hope to not only encourage upcoming students to choose aviation, but to help keep graduating students local” stated Flightstar President Bill Giannetti.
