The JetBlue Foundation recently partnered with Project Scientist for the STEM Expedition Summer Academy which included a behind-the scenes visit to JetBlue’s operation at Long Beach Airport.
“The JetBlue Foundation is creating clearer career pathways for the next generation in aviation,” said Ursula Hurley, president of the JetBlue Foundation. “It was exciting to see mentorship and technical education as the main themes among this year’s grant applications. We’re making an investment in our children and in the future of our industry. Mentorship, access and options are important, whether it’s ensuring students have skills for well-paying jobs upon graduation from high school or the opportunity to further their education through college.”
The JetBlue Foundation encourages aviation-related education and helps ignite interest in STEM programs, especially among communities traditionally underrepresented in these areas. This STEM education-focused foundation furthers JetBlue’s efforts to introduce students to the vast array of careers available within aviation. Over the past six years, the JetBlue Foundation has built lasting relationships with more than 80 STEM and aviation-focused programs and provided over $1.5 million in grants and in-kind support to help these programs take off.
The 2019 grant recipients span JetBlue’s route map including the first international recipient, with grant winners coming from Atlanta; Barbados, West Indies; Boston; the New York-metro area; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Long Beach, Calif.; San Diego and Salt Lake City.
