A Scholarship

Occupational Internship Pre-Selection Committee c/o Tom W. Emmanual Academic Office, Institute of Aviation One Airport Road (MC-394) Savoy IL 61874 Dear Mr. Emmanual: Throughout my aviation history I have been pushed to work hard so that I will achieve my goal of becoming a captain for a major airline.

Currently, I am employed as a waiter/bartender which allows me to have the flexibility to keep up my flight training. It...
