RESOURCE GUIDES
To mark the 20th anniversary of the program, in
2016 WAI published WAI Scholarships Change Lives
(online link: https://www.wai.org/sites/default/files/
assets/EducationKit/wai_schbook2016_web.pdf) to
bring these stories to life and record them for others
to be inspired to reach for the stars and encourage
other members to apply for scholarships.
These additional funds helped Sonia Thiebeau in
2013 start her personal journey in aircraft mainte-
nance at Lufthansa Technik, USAirways, and even-
tually American Airlines.
A more recent example is from Jayne Snider, a
2017 recipient of the Delta Air Lines Maintenance
Technology scholarship. "The scholarship program
WAI offers is continuing to have a huge impact on
me as a student, and as I work toward landing my
first job as a maintenance technician. I'm dreaming
big, and I'm realizing that my dreams can become
my reality."
These are just a few stories that prove scholar-
ships do fulfill hopes, dreams, type ratings, and all
kinds of training that open up doors to a bright
future.
JAYNE SNIDER, WAI
71073 of Lansing, MI,
was awarded the Delta
Air Lines Maintenance
Technology
Scholarship in 2017.
