The primary purpose of the Regional Airline Association Scholarship is to assist with the education of individuals who are studying for a career in the airline industry by providing financial support. Awards will be made to U.S. citizens or permanent residents without regard to sex, race, religion or national origin.
Applicants must be officially enrolled in an accredited college or university in a program leading to a career in the airline industry at the time of application and award. Applicants will be considered from other programs/majors, if the applicant’s goal of a career in airline management can be demonstrated through work experience or the personal essay. Applicants must possess a minimum cumulative 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale at the time of the application. A transcript reflecting grades through the previous academic year at high school, college or university must accompany the application. Because of the application deadline, applicants may submit transcripts through fall or winter term. Applicants must submit a resume outlining the applicants work experience, extracurricular and/or community activities, a 350-word (max) career essay describing the applicant’s interests in the airline industry and a faculty recommendation must accompany the application. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States.
