Aviation is a unique industry with a need for a highly skilled and professionally prepared workforce. The challenges to recruit, retain and ensure the sustainability of the business aviation industry in Iowa are of paramount importance. Furthermore, it is recognized that the cost of entry and education within aviation is substantial. Therefore, the Iowa Business Aviation Association (IBAA) established this scholarship to provide financial support to an aspiring aviator or aviation maintenance professional. The hope is that this will help to mitigate some of the cost burdens associated with certification and education within the aviation industry.
