Clay Lacy announces second year of scholarships at LA's leading aircraft mechanic school

Clay Lacy Aviation is inviting applications for its 2017-2018 Maintenance Technician Scholarships.

Now entering its second year, the Clay Lacy scholarship initiative provides funds toward tuition, tools and FAA exam fees for students attending the NVOC Aviation Center located at Van Nuys Airport. In the first year, this initiative helped 24 students on their journey toward rewarding careers as Airframe and Powerplant Technicians.

“We greatly value our partnership with Clay Lacy Aviation,” said NVOC Aviation Center Principal Rosario Galvan. “Their support helps make the difference for students who want to pursue rewarding, well-paying careers in aviation, and build fulfilling lives for themselves and their families.”

“This year with the addition of the evening Aviation Mechanics program, more students will be able to take advantage of this great scholarship opportunity,” said Assistant Principal Elizabeth Penuela. “Applications will be accepted from September 1 through October 15, 2016 and awarded in November."

Applications are available at www.claylacy.com/PursueYourPassion  and www.nvoc.org
