Scholarship & Mentoring Committee:

The Scholarship & Mentoring Committee is currently chaired by Katy Glynn, who can be reached by email at katy.glynn@avicappartners.com.

This committee is tasked with three basic functions:

1) To identify and select exceptional and deserving Illinois resident students currently enrolled in any institution providing college level courses, preparing the student for a career in Business Aviation with a degree or career as a Pilot, Maintenance Technician, Aviation Administrator or other approved aviation related career such as ATC, Dispatching, Engineering, Sales, etc. To nominate and recommend these candidates to the CABAA Board or CABAA Foundation Board for consideration for the award of monetary aid or scholarships to further their education.

2) To actively promote Business Aviation as a viable, interesting and rewarding career on the campuses of Colleges or Universities where our future job candidates are being trained today.

3) To facilitate a meaningful connection and on-going relationship between willing and interested Students and individual CABAA Members that are able to mentor the student candidate within their discipline, or job function. This can be on a varying level of commitment: from a few informal meetings consisting of guidance and encouragement, all the way up to paid Intern or Apprenticeship Programs consisting of a commitment for one scholastic quarter, or more.
