2008 FLIGHTLINE GROUP, INC - CAREERS IN AVIATION

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED

 

Careers in Aviation is pleased to announce the 2008 Flightline Group Scholarship recipient has been awarded to Saul Meza from Chicago, IL. The $2,500 scholarship was open to students expressing a financial need and with an aspiration toward undertaking flight training or education in the pursuit of a career in aviation. 

Flightline Group, Inc is an acknowledged supporter of educational programs such as those offered by Careers in Aviation.

Saul Meza, an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University student, will graduate in May 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science is the honored recipient.  Mr. Meza states that his first fascination for flight took hold as a participant in the high school Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp.

"Growing up in an inner city neighborhood can give one a false sense of hopelessness...but, like my parents, I vowed to seize every opportunity to reach my dream of receiving my degree, becoming a flight instructor, and eventually becoming a corporate pilot.  Most kids like me don't believe that attending college or university is available to them.  By reaching my goals, I would like to lead through example and demonstrate to these kids that hard work and persistence will take over when luck is cut short," Saul continued to add, "I dream of flying professionally in the corporate industry...realizing corporate pilots are well rounded and deal with much more than aviation, I embrace the business aspect of flight."

Saul will be applying his scholarship award toward flight time and completing his degree.

"We are proud that the Flightline Group Scholarship will assist a bright, hardworking, and determined person, who is looking forward to giving back to his home community," said C. Daniel Langston, Flightline Group president.  "The selection committee had a difficult decision with over 70 qualified applicants. We congratulate all applicants on their dedication and hard-work and encourage them to continue the pursuit of their dreams."
