Partner with the North Carolina Airports Association in awarding scholarships to students attending two-year and four-year colleges and universities in North Carolina with Aviation programs.
Over the past few years the Airports Association presented scholarships to honor Mr. Bruce Matthews, former Assistant Director of the North Carolina Division of Aviation to recognize his distinguished aviation career and dedication to the students of North Carolina State University. Scholarships were awarded to students who had demonstrated interest and/or experience in transportation engineering, airport planning and design.
The Airport Association recently established the North Carolina Airports Association Educational Foundation, Inc., a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of the Educational Foundation is to provide scholarships to deserving students attending schools throughout North Carolina with aviation programs. We will accomplish this goal through public support from individuals, corporations and other entities.
The Educational Foundation will accept tax deductible contributions to:
- its general scholarship program;
- funds designated for the benefit of students attending a specific educational institution and;
- named scholarships to recognize and honor an individual or entity.
Any designated and/or restricted funds will be subject to approval of the Board of Directors of the Educational Foundation.
The scholarship committee, which makes the final decision on each scholarship to be awarded, is comprised of Members, Officers and Directors of the NCAA Educational Foundation, each of whom are dedicated to aviation excellence in North Carolina.
We welcome your questions and the opportunity to discuss how we can combine forces to promote aviation education in North Carolina. Please feel free to contact any of the members of the Scholarship Committee to discuss our mutual interest in this program.
