Lockheed Martin Greenville Operations added $25,000 to an endowed fund established in 1995 to provide scholarships for Aircraft Maintenance Technology (AMT) students at Greenville Technical College.
Lockheed Martin is among the companies relying on the AMT program for graduates with a balance of classroom training and hands-on instruction. The Federal Aviation Administration and Veterans Administration-approved associate degree program qualifies students to take the FAA airframe and powerplant technician certification exams.
“We are pleased to be able to add to our endowed scholarship fund so that men and women can pursue education that will give them skills critical for success in the aviation maintenance industry,” Don Erickson, Lockheed Martin Greenville site director, said in a release.
“We are grateful to Lockheed Martin for the many ways the company supports our efforts,” said Dr. Keith Miller, president of Greenville Technical College. “The company’s commitment to education is obvious in its gifts that create opportunities for deserving people in our community.”
