Scholarship Description
Two $4,000 non-cash scholarships will be awarded for Jeppesen commercial aviation dispatch training. The scholarships include tuition, books, and supplies, and does NOT include pre-exam books or FAA examination fees of $500. One scholarship will be awarded to a Colorado resident, and one scholarship open worldwide.
Students can be full time, part time, or graduated. Open to both women and men. Include in your essay activities, goals, and reason for applying. At least one letter of recommendation must be from an employer, instructor, or personal acquaintance.
This course will prepare applicants to take the comprehensive FAA written, oral, and practical exams leading to issuance of the aircraft dispatcher license. The FAA aircraft dispatcher written exam is the same as the FAA airline transport pilot (ATP) exam, so this course provides the ATP body of knowledge, plus flight planning and practical dispatching skills-applicable to many aviation careers. This is not an ATP course.
Jeppesen graduates can receive transfer credit towards a bachelor’s of science degree at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, Honolulu Community College, and other worldwide partner universities.
Training will be held at Jeppesen’s Corporate World Headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Travel and lodging expenses not included in scholarship. Scholarship must be used within one year of receiving the award.
