Homestead Aviation Student Receives Scholarship

Joaquin Mantovani, a student at the Eig-Watson School of Aviation at Homestead Campus, was awarded $7,500 in November by the Greater Miami Aviation Association-Bachelor Scholarship Fund.

The GMAA scholarship is annually awarded to qualifying aviation students pursuing a career in the industry. Mantovani was chosen amongst hundreds of students for demonstrating academic achievement, leadership and financial need.

“I feel very grateful, very honored, flattered,” Mantovani said. This past April, Mantovani also received the Eig-Watson scholarship for an amount of $7,500. This year, he has received a total of $15,000 in scholarships.

Mantovani will be graduating with his Associate in Science in pilot technology this March.
