Parafield Airport will offer a Youth Flying Scholarship in 2014 for one person from the northern Adelaide region for CPL training.
Parafield Airport Ltd (PAL) will offer a $60,000 scholarship to anyone aged between 18 and 25 who is active or lives in the greater Salisbury catchment area, which surrounds the airport.
The scholarship is provided in conjunction with Flight Training Adelaide, Northern Futures and the City Of Salisbury.
PAL Managing Director Mark Young said the scholarship would cover all tuition fees and uniforms, and will equip the graduate with the skills necessary to seek employment as a pilot.
“We wanted to make a significant commitment to employment in the region and to aviation training,” he said.
“Our inaugural winner, Bradley Conway, has already proven himself to be a worthy recipient of the 2013 Parafield Airport Youth Flying Scholarship, and is very close to completing his training.
As part of the application process, PAL is looking for someone with a demonstrated desire to fly and pursue an aviation career, a history of general excellence – both academic and in other fields – and strong written and verbal communication skills.
Applications close 1 November 2013. Further details are available on line at www.parafieldairport.com.au .
