OGDEN, Utah,
Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Professional flight academy High
Desert Helicopters has announced the availability of a new flight training
scholarship. The scholarship program, titled the "High Desert Helicopters
Aviator Scholarship Program," was unveiled at the academy's Summer of Aviation
event this past weekend. The scholarship will be awarded to three candidates
annually based on demonstrated aptitude, professionalism and financial need.
The helicopter industry faces a unique human resources challenge. The
ability to fill pilot positions within the industry is a growing problem that
is only expected to worsen over the next ten years. Significant industry
growth and the retirement of Vietnam era pilots are helping to fuel pilot
demand. The high cost of pilot training and the lack of good student lending
resources is further crimping the future supply of trained pilots.
High Desert Helicopters hopes to lessen the financial barrier of training
for the most promising prospective students. These deserving students will
bring fresh talent to the industry and help to fill the strong demand for
skilled pilots.
This year scholarships will be awarded on November 1st, 2008 with an
application deadline set for October 1st, 2008. Applications are now being
accepted. Scholarship requirements and further details may be found on the
academy's website at http://www.hdhelicopters.com.
High Desert Helicopters, LLC is a professional flight training academy
based at the Ogden-Hinckley Airport in Ogden, Utah. The academy focuses on
building career oriented pilots and frequently wins the praise of industry
employers for its quality of training.
