Three students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University have been awarded the first JSfirm.com scholarships.
JSfirm.com, an aviation-only job website, established the scholarships because of the need in the industry for more aviation professionals, especially pilots and mechanics, according to company officials.

The scholarships were developed to target three high-demand aviation-related programs: Aviation Maintenance Science, Aerospace Engineering and Aeronautical Science.
“Our hope is that we can help to alleviate a portion of the financial strain that is inherent while attaining educational goals,” said Abbey Hutter, marketing coordinator for JSfirm.com.
The scholarship recipients are:
- Roxanne Rosado, Senior, Aviation Maintenance Science;
- Skyler Singleton, Senior, Aerospace Engineering ; and
