Last week at its Prescott Regional Airport (KPRC) FBO in Arizona, Cutter Aviation honored the 10 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students who were selected to receive this year’s Bill Cutter Memorial Scholarships.
The annual scholarship program—which supports business aviation students who display outstanding dedication to an aviation education—was initiated in 2018 as a tribute to the memory of William R. Cutter, who passed away that year. He was the second generation to run the company— the oldest family-owned service provider in general and business aviation—and father of current president and CEO Will Cutter.
Embry-Riddle operates one of its two U.S. campuses at KPRC and the two organizations have developed a strong relationship over the years. During the breakfast event, students and guests heard statements from Dr. Thomas Drape, the dean of the university’s College of Business, Security, and Intelligence, along with Will Cutter.
“We are extremely proud of all these students,” said Cutter. “We understand the importance of supporting the next generation of aviators. It is an honor to encourage them [in] their education and aviation career.”
Following the event, the seven scholarship recipients in attendance were given an in-depth tour of the FBO and its aircraft maintenance facility.
