ST Engineering scholarships

PENSACOLA, Fla. — ST Engineering on Tuesday announced the ST Engineering Scholarship Program. Starting in 2020, four scholarships will be awarded annually to Escambia County high school students. Each recipient will receive $2,500. The company says it’s important to get students involved in the aerospace industry sooner rather than later. “The aerospace industry is growing. The average age of an aircraft tech right now is about 50. So, we see in order to preserve aviation going forward, there will be a great need for techs going forward,” said Director of Maintenance Alvin Bass. Students can use the scholarships towards any accredited college or tech aviation school. (Source: WEAR-TV, 03/05/19) Previous: Group wants to rethink incentives; MRO project lands $20M more
