News | Apply Now for ATTTO Training Scholarships

Applications for ATTTO’s 2011 training scholarships are now open.

If you or someone you know is looking to take their next step in tourism, travel, aviation or museums training, this is a chance to receive one of four $1,000 scholarships.

ATTTO’s Flying Start scholarships are for secondary school students who have participated in ATTTO Gateway programmes in the 2011 school year. There are two scholarships up for grabs: one for Aviation Gateway students and another for students involved in Tourism or Travel Gateway programmes.

The Next Step scholarship is for any secondary or tertiary student currently studying tourism, travel, aviation or museums who wants to take the next step in their training. Two scholarships are also available at this level: one for aviation students and one for students studying towards tourism, travel or museum qualifications.

ATTTO Chief Executive Elizabeth Valentine says these scholarships are designed to help encourage talented students to further their education and training in ATTTO’s sectors.

“Attracting bright, talented young people into careers in the aviation and visitor sectors is a big challenge for our industries. These scholarships help encourage secondary and tertiary students with an interest in our sectors to continue with their training and choose careers in these exciting industries.”

Applications are open until 5pm 17 October 2011. Students can apply online via ATTTO’s website.
