John Sharp of Sturgis, Miss., a senior Aviation Management\/Logistics major at Delta State, was recently awarded a $500 scholarship, courtesy of Statewide Federal Credit Union.<\/p>\n

According to Casey Bacon, CEO of Statewide Federal Credit Union, the scholarship was established as a way to demonstrate corporate philanthropy support for outstanding student success.<\/p>\n

Sharp was selected for the award for his academic hard work, character and drive.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn was chosen for his industry-specific maturity, student teamwork\/collaboration skills, communication and interpersonal skills, leadership, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, adaptability, initiative, passion, focus and determination,\u201d said DSU Aviation and Logistics Instructor Carl Brinkley.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese merits alone make him highly worthy of the scholarship along with a financial need to complete his education at DSU.\u00a0 Above all, I can\u2019t think of a better student who deserves such,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Plans are underway to make the scholarship an annual award, Brinkley said.<\/p>\n

Delta State\u2019s Department of Commercial Aviation offers a Bachelor of Commercial Aviation (BCA) in Flight Operations and Aviation Management with a concentration in Logistics, and a Master of Commercial Aviation (MCA).<\/p>\n
