AAR announces fellowship program with Rock Valley College

WOOD DALE - AAR, a provider of aviation maintenance services to commercial and government operators, said it has established a new fellowship program with Rock Valley College in Rockford.

The initiative is part of AAR's EAGLE Career Pathway Program, which focuses on growing the talent necessary to meet the aviation repair and maintenance demands of the future.

Fellowships, which include a cash award, will be offered to ten students and recipients who will work a minimum of two years with AAR. The funds may be used to cover the cost of tuition, fees and material and are annually renewable. To join, fellows must meet certain eligibility criteria, including being a current or prospective student at Rock Valley College enrolled in the Aviation Maintenance Program, and must intend to work at AAR's Rockford location upon completion of graduation. Application information is available at www.aarcorp.com/RVCFellowship.

"We are proud to announce this fellowship program, which builds upon the strong relationship that we already have with Rock Valley College," said John Holmes, AAR president and chief executive officer.
