Notification
All applicants will be notified in late July.
Notifications are sent via email. When setting up your account, avoid using a school or work email. Instead, use an active, personal email address that you will continue to have access to.
Please make sure to add studentsupport@scholarshipamerica.org as well as the program email address as safe senders in your email contact list.
Payment of Scholarships
Employees will receive payment from Menzies Aviation in October.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic performance
- Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
- A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
- Unusual personal or family circumstances
Financial need is not considered.
Academic evaluation will include a review of the grade/mark average based on the grading system used in the applicant’s country and a review of the results of academic examinations.
Application Process Note for students outside of the U.S. and Canada: While completing the application Profile, there is a request for GPA on a 4.0 scale. If your grading system does not use the 4.0 GPA scale, you can enter “0” to continue completing the Profile and application. This will not impact your application score and evaluation process will consider the academic documents* submitted with your application.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Menzies Aviation play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.

As part of your application, you must upload the following:
- A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display:
