Saint Francis University is proud to announce the Spring 2025  AMT Toolbox Scholarship, a merit-based opportunity designed to support students enrolled  in Saint Francis University's Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) program. This initiative  highlights the University's commitment to advancing technical education and reducing the  financial burden of essential training resources for students entering the aviation field.   

The first five students who enroll in the AMT program for the Spring 2025 cohort (beginning  January 13) will receive a professional-grade AOGMHC Snap-On toolset at the start of their  first semester. This toolset, valued at over $5,700, is a critical resource for aviation  maintenance professionals and a required component for all students in the program.  Upon completing the 21-month program, the toolset will become the students' permanent  property.  

"The Spring 2025 AMT Toolbox Scholarship underscores our mission to support hands-on  learning and provide students with the tools they need to excel in the aviation industry,"  said Brianna Pavkovich, Director of the AMT Program. "This scholarship prepares students  for success and demonstrates the value Saint Francis University places on education and  professional growth."   

To qualify, students must be enrolled full-time in the 21-month AMT program, have a  minimum GPA of 2.8 in high school, and meet specific academic and professional  standards throughout their studies. Recipients are also expected to engage in program- related activities like mentoring and supporting new students.
