What is CABAA?

CABAA was officially formed in 1998 to provide a grassroots organization for business aircraft operators and their vendors to freely exchange information and expertise pertaining to all aspects of business aviation.  We realize that business aircraft do not leave the ground without the help and support of a great many talented and dedicated individuals. CABAA is a broad consortium of people who engage in various aspects involved in the safe and efficient operation of corporate aircraft.

CABAA offers Scholarships to promote professional development and business aviation careers. The Scholarship was established to encourage others to reach the highest level of achievement in their aviation studies. It is bestowed upon those who demonstrate a commitment and devotion to aviation, in the tradition of the CABAA scholarship. The scholarship committee is actively promoting Business Aviation as a viable, interesting, and rewarding career on the campuses where our future job candidates are being trained. They facilitate a meaningful connection and an on-going relationship between willing and interested students and individual members of CABAA that are able to mentor the student candidate within their discipline or job function on varying levels of commitment. 

Scholarship Details:

Six scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $2500.00 per recipient.  These scholarships are open to both high school and college level students.  Winners will be notified by phone and presented with their scholarship at the Annual CABAA Golf Classic played in August 2008.
