APPLICATIONS for Cotswold Airport’s 2016 Aviation Scholarship close next Friday (19).
Launched in 2007, the programme is open to scholars from Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire, between the ages of 14 and 18, offering an opportunity to experience career options within aviation.
It is funded by Cotswold Airport owner Ronan Harvey and runs for two weeks during the Easter holidays.
Many scholars have gone on to embark on careers in aviation based industries whether it be military, com - mercial flying, engineering or air traffic services.
Mr Harvey`s daughter, Suzannah Harvey, CEO of Cotswold Airport said: “We were thrilled that so many young people applied for a place on the 2015 programme that we will be increasing the intake to 12 students on the 2016 scholarship.
“The enthusiasm and dedication shown by all who have taken part in previous years is a clear indication of just how much of a difference this scheme makes. I would encourage any young person with an interest in a career in aviation to apply.”
