AAR CORP., a provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, has awarded Foundation Scholarships to four students for the 2023-204 school year.   

AAR created its Foundation Scholarship to contribute to the academic studies of AAR employees’ children and the aviation industry. Recipients must meet a cumulative 3.0 grade point average requirement and enroll in an aviation/aerospace related bachelor’s program for the 2023-2024 academic year.

This year’s recipients include Mauricio Ceren Angulo, Julio Denis, Daniel Felipe Rocha Villegas, and Mason Tatone. All are enthusiastic about future careers in aviation.

“I feel like I am destined to build aircraft,” shares Tatone, who will study Aerospace Engineering at California State Polytechnic University this fall. “My interest in aviation began when I attended AAR’s Take Your Child to Work Day more than 10 years ago, so it’s special that I am now receiving a scholarship from AAR to study aviation in college.”

“The AAR Foundation Scholarship is one of the many ways AAR supports our employees and the aviation industry,” said John M. Holmes. “Our employees are passionate about aviation, and it’s fantastic to see this passed down to their children.”
