AerCap Holdings NV and University of Limerick Foundation has announced that Sadhbh Jordan, a first year Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering student at University of Limerick, has been awarded this year’s AerCap Women in Aviation Scholarship.

A native of County Clare, Sadhbh was selected through a thorough application process that evaluated students’ passion for aviation and their academic achievements.

Now in its sixth year, the scholarship provides students with a bursary of €5,000 per year throughout the 4-year programme, along with the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the aviation leasing industry through an eight-month internship.

We are very pleased to continue to support the Women in Aviation Scholarship programme,” said Denise Mangan-Fahy, Head of Engine Portfolio & Rental Operations at AerCap. “Through this initiative, we aim to encourage more women to pursue engineering programmes, fostering a pipeline of diverse, highly skilled talent to support the future growth and development of the aviation industry. We are very much looking forward to welcoming Sadhbh to AerCap for her internship.”

Sarah Hartnett, Director of Development at the University of Limerick Foundation added “We are very grateful to AerCap for their generosity and leadership in encouraging our female students to reach their full potential in the aviation industry. It is so inspiring to see the impact that this scholarship programme has had on the lives and careers of many women since its inception.”
