Bill Sanderson Aviation Maintenance Technician Scholarship

Each year Helicopter Association International (HAI) offers the Bill Sanderson Aviation Maintenance Technician Scholarship. This program was founded by HAI's Technical Committee to promote the choice of helicopter maintenance as a career.

Criteria require applicants to be about to graduate from a FAA approved Part 147 AMT school, or a recent recipient (within the last two years) of an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Certificate.

Five scholarships are awarded. The first place winner is awarded $1,600 from HAI to assist  with expenses. Those finishing in second, third, fourth and fifth place will receive $1,150, $850, $750 and $650, respectively, for assistance with expenses. Each of the winners has a choice of one of the following courses made available by the helicopter airframe and engine manufacturers or by Southern Illinois University. Courses are awarded by preference, in order of award placement.


Completed applications must be postmarked no later than January 12, 2007.  Note:  This has been extended to January 19, 2007.  The winners will be announced prior to HAI’s Technical Committee meeting, held in conjunction with HELI-EXPO 2007, March 1 – 3, in Orlando, Florida.  Winners are invited and encouraged to attend, at which time they will be introduced to the committee.
