Cotswold Airport Aviation Scholarships 2018 – Dates
Released!
The hugely popular ‘Cotswold Airport Aviation Scholarship’,
which launched back in 2007, will be open for 2018 applications from Monday
22nd January, with a closing date on Friday 30th March. Twenty
successful applicants will be invited to the interview stage of the application
process on Saturday 21st April. Following the interviews, the 10
final scholars will be selected for the programme, which runs from Monday 6th
to Friday 17th August (weekdays only).
The unique industry scholarship programme has changed the
lives of many young people over its ten year history, seeing scholars embarking
on fantastic careers in the world of aviation, from engineering to commercial
flying (press case studies available). The programme was founded by Cotswold
Airport owner, Ronan Harvey, an ex-RAF engineer, aviation expert and successful
entrepreneur, who wanted to open up the braod and exciting world of aviation
career opportunities to young people from the local area.
The scholarship programme has been significantly enhanced,
with the generous addition of a sponsorship package from Gulf Aviation. 2018
marks the second consecutive year that Gulf Aviation has supported this
initiative, enabling the organisers to include additional aviation industry
site visits such as Bristol International Airport; an increased number of
loggable fling hours; and drone tuition with on-site UAV Academy.
2018 marks the eleventh year of the Cotswold Airport
Aviation Scholarship and has resonance and importance given 2018 also marks the
100th year of the founding of the RAF and the centenary of the end
of WWI. In celebration of these two historic anniversaries, the best performer
of next year’s scholarship will be fully trained for their PPL (Private Pilot’s
Licence) at Cotswold Airport, funded by the scholarship programme.
Students from Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire,
Bristol and Berkshire can apply. Applicants must be 14 to 18 years of age on
the 6th August 2018. Applications can be submitted online at www.cotswoldairport.com
