Aviation Students Awarded International Helicopter Scholarships
Monday, March 26, 2018
Two Pennsylvania College of Technology students were among only seven selected internationally to receive a Bill Sanderson Aviation Maintenance Technology Scholarship from Helicopter Association International's Technical Committee.
Samuel J. Pham, of Camp Hill, and Christopher J. Carreiro, of Lyndhurst, New Jersey, juniors in the college's four-year aviation maintenance technology major, were recently awarded first- and second-place scholarships, respectively, that provide a tuition waiver for a helicopter manufacturer training school and a stipend to offset expenses.
Pham will attend the Airbus EC-145 helicopter factory school, and Carreiro will attend the Leonardo A139 helicopter factory school. They join 13 other Penn College students honored by HAI over the past 14 years; total scholarship amounts awarded to those students by the committee exceed $100,000.
In March, Pham, five other Penn College aviation students and aviation instructor William F. Stepp III attended the HAI Heli-Expo in Las Vegas.
