AMTSociety AMTScholarship Program
 The AMTScholarship awards are one way the AMTSociety is committed to help ensure that future aircraft maintenance technicians are recognized for their desire to enter into the skilled aircraft maintenance profession. The AMTScholarships were also created to financially assist those currently working towards their credentials to become certified aircraft maintenance professionals as well as assist those already certified in furthering their professional education and training.
Two AMTScholarship awards will be presented each year. The two AMTScholarships are named after individuals who have spent their professional careers in promoting and advancing the skilled craft of the AMT. The two awards are:
- The Charles E. Taylor Award $1500.00
- The William F. "Bill" O'Brien $1000.00
All AMTScholarship award applications will be reviewed by the AMTSociety Council Members and Executive Director. In the event that the Council Members are evenly split on two separate applicants the AMTSociety Executive Director will make the final decision on granting the award.
Applicants who are awarded an AMTScholarship award will be notified by April 30th by telephone and mail. Award winners will also be posted on the AMTSociety web site and mentioned in AMT Magazine. AMTScholarship awards will be sent directly to the successful applicants chosen FAR Part 147 aviation certified school or professional training provider.
