RECENT K-STATE AT SALINA GRADUATE FROM LAWRENCE EARNS AVIATION TRAINING SCHOLARSHIP

SALINA -- A recent graduate of Kansas State University at Salina has earned a scholarship that provides business aviation training opportunities.

Nick Green, a May 2008 bachelor's graduate in professional pilot, Lawrence, has received the SimuFlite Citation type rating scholarship from CAE SimuFlite, a Dallas-based aviation training corporation. The scholarship, worth around $15,000, can be used to earn a 500 series Citation type rating.

CAE SimuFlite awards scholarships to current students or recent graduates of member institutions of the University Aviation Association. Its scholarship program was created to promote business aviation as a career to young aviators.

Along with specific pilot licensing, instrument rating and flight hour requirements, scholarship applicants also had to have a minimum 3.25 grade point average and write a 250-word essay on how the scholarship would fit into their plans to enter corporate or business aviation.

Green currently works as an intern with FlightSafety at Hawker Beechcraft in Wichita and plans to join the U.S. Navy as a pilot.
