Rockwell Collins-China awards scholarship to six students

An awards ceremony for our 2006 Rockwell Collins-China scholarship winners was held at the Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC) on Dec. 8, 2006. Six undergraduate students in the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering received $600 scholarships, an amount equivalent to his or her tuition for one academic year.

"As a long-term partner of China's aviation industry, we are committed to supporting education in the country," says Martin Lin, director, China Business Development for Rockwell Collins-China, who awarded the scholarship to the students. "This program is an important way to demonstrate our strong commitment to maintaining good corporate citizenship in the Chinese aviation community. We anticipate that our relationship with CAUC and other higher education institutions will be strengthened, as mutual benefits are further expanded."

The scholarship program enhances our cooperation with China's leading aviation university by providing financial assistance to students who have demonstrated excellent academic performance in the fields of avionics or information technology and have financial needs.

The partnership began in 2000 when we awarded two scholarships. However, based on the program's success, both parties have renewed the agreement and increased the annual scholarship awards.

In addition to Rockwell Collins, over 20 representatives from other enterprises including the Civil Aviation Administration of China, domestic airlines and multinational aviation granted scholarships during the ceremony.

CAUC is a renowned academic and research institution supporting the civil aviation industry in China. Many Rockwell Collins products, including weather radar, VHF transceiver, Mode S transponder and technical manuals are used in teaching laboratories of CAUC.

"We appreciate Rockwell Collins sharing its experience and knowledge in supporting China's education in the field of aviation communication and navigation," said CAUC Principal Wu Tongshui. "Our students have been trained and become familiar with Rockwell Collins products. After they graduate, their employment with Chinese airlines would benefit Rockwell Collins' business in China."

Three of our customer service engineers in China are graduates of the university.
