Thomas Fidler

Aviation Scholarship Recipient

Completed the Aviation Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics program (A & P program) in Sept. 2015. He successfully passed all of his FAA exams the same month and is now a licensed A & P Mechanic. 

Receiving the foundation scholarship allowed me to focus more on my studies. It helped me finish the A & P program on time. I am so proud of what I have accomplished, and I hope one day to be able to contribute to the foundation so I can help pay it forward!
