LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, UNITED STATES, September 6, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Now in its ninth year, GlobalAir.com is proud to announce its four recipients for the 2022-23 Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship.

The students are enrolled in aviation programs at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Western Michigan University, Texas Southern University and the University of North Dakota.

Each year, the Calvin L. Carrithers Aviation Scholarship provides $1,000 each to four U.S. students attending a U.S.-based college or university, who are dedicated to writing online about their flight training, flying, school, and their interest in aviation.

The scholars also get to hone their writing and social media skills working with the GlobalAir.com editorial team.

Scholars are selected based on their efforts in their academic and aviation careers, their writing abilities and their standing within their program by getting letters of recommendation from faculty or their flight instructors.

“Every year we get so many great candidates, and it is always a competitive process,” said GlobalAir.com President and CEO Jeffrey Carrithers. “There were so many exceptional candidates this year, but the four young pilots that were selected had remarkably stellar credentials. We look forward to helping them reach new heights in their careers, and we cannot wait to see how they can contribute to the aviation community through our digital platforms.”
