NCAA Scholarship
The NCAA Funded Scholarship is dedicated to Mr. Bruce Matthews, who was a tireless supporter of aviation in North Carolina and the first permanent employee of the NCDOT - Division of Aviation. Mr. Matthews is credited with leading the development of the North Carolina public airport system. His vision for assisting smaller state airports to upgrade their facilities to accommodate business jet aircraft has lifted North Carolina to new heights in Aviation Success.
Partner with the North Carolina Airports Association in awarding scholarships to students attending two-year and four-year colleges and universities in North Carolina with Aviation programs. Over the past few years the Airports Association presented scholarships to honor Mr. Bruce Matthews, former Assistant Director of the North Carolina Division of Aviation to recognize his distinguished aviation career and dedication to the students of North Carolina State University. Scholarships were awarded to students who had demonstrated interest and/or experience in transportation engineering, airport planning and design. The Airport Association recently established the North Carolina Airports Association Educational Foundation, Inc., a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of the Educational Foundation is to provide scholarships to deserving students attending schools throughout North Carolina with aviation programs. We will accomplish this goal through public support from individuals, corporations and other entities.
The 2013 Bruce Matthews Scholarship Application deadline to apply has been extended to 2/28/13
