June, 2011 Dallas, TX North Texas Business Aviation Association (NTBAA) awarded their first ever Scholarship to an Aviation Logistics student at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas earlier this month.
Amy Coronado, a junior at UNT and Texas native, is the recipient of the $3000 scholarship award. Amy interest in global aviation and her strong scholastic accomplishments in the newly formed Aviation Logistics program are what led the NTBAA to offer her the scholarship.
As a young association, NTBAA represents local general aviation professionals in North Texas so we are excited to team up with the University of North Texas and the Aviation Logistics scholarship program, commented Ray Santa, Steering Committee Director and Scholarship Program Leader for NTBAA, and Director of Business Development for Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI). This is a good match for us, and we are proud to support talented students like Amy, that are destined for a career in Aviation, added Santa.
The Scholarship was awarded to Amy at a ceremony held at UNT and will support her educational expenses for the 2011-2012 academic school year.
