SUMMARY:Dennis O’Brien/John Iverson Memorial /Saskatchewan Aviation Council Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:The award of $1,000 goes to a student in at least Year 2 of SIIT or established in an apprenticeship path of training. Visit website for more information.\n\nScholarships\nEach year at the annual convention of the Saskatchewan Aviation Council, two scholarships are offered in memory of Dennis O’Brien and John Iverson, who were tragically taken while ferrying a Single Otter back to Saskatchewan in 1996.\nDennis and hew new wife, Karen, bought their own aviation business in Buffalo Narrows in 1976.  Dennis and Karen built the company from a single Beaver to a fleet of traditional bush planes and modern, twin-engine, all-weather aircraft.  They built this model company based on high standards of aircraft maintenance and customer service.\nJohn Iverson had a history of 23 years as a crop sprayer.  After retiring from crop spraying and farming in the late 1980’s, he flew the float season for Buffalo Narrows Airways except for one year flying with Points North Forwarding.  John’s common sense and easy-going manner reassured his patrons in the often inhospitable, remote environment of float flying.\nThe legacy of these two fine Saskatchewan aviators lives on through the continued operations of Buffalo Narrows Airways, now Courtesy Air and via the Dennis O’Brien/John Iverson Memorial Scholarship Fund organized and overseen by the Saskatchewan Aviation Council.\nThe two memorial scholarships are awarded to aviation students:  one a Commercial Pilot in training and the other an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer in training.\nSaskatchewan Aviation Memorial Scholarship Fund\nThe Saskatchewan Aviation Memorial Scholarship Fund is a memorial trust fund, administered by the Saskatchewan Aviation Council that promotes aviation by awarding two annual scholarships. The Scholarships are available to those who are, or previously were, residents of Saskatchewan, and are completing training in Saskatchewan.  The Scholarships are:\n\n$1,000 Scholarship for commercial pilot training, and;\n$1,000 Scholarship for AME training\n\nEach of these scholarships will be presented at the SAC Annual Conference & Trade Show held each year in the fall.\nApplication Procedures:\n(1) Complete the application attached and submit to the SAC no later than October 15th.\n(2) Along with this application form, submit a letter describing your interest in aviation and your future plans.
