During a news conference at WSU Tech’s National Center for Aviation Training, Governor Laura Kelly ceremonially signed the new aviation tax credit into law.

The legislation encourages more workers to consider a career in the Kansas aerospace industry by creating a nonrefundable $5,000 tax credit for taxpayers who become qualified employees during the taxable year and for four succeeding years of employment.

WSU Tech will help individuals become eligible for the $25,000 incentive through their aviation training programs and the Wichita Promise scholarship program.

The Wichita Promise scholarship program at WSU Tech provides a path for individuals to complete a qualifying program at no cost. The Wichita Promise offers 8-week to one-semester training schedules in high-demand careers and guaranteed job interviews. Classes begin in August and individuals in the program will leave with a certificate, job opportunities, and no college debt.

Eligible aviation and manufacturing programs for the Fall 2022 semester Wichita Promise scholarship include: Composite Fabrication, Aviation Sheetmetal Assembly, Process Mechanic (Paint) and CNC Operator.

WSU Tech will offer open-to-the-public aviation information sessions at their NCAT campus during June and July. Those in attendance will learn more about the aviation tax credit, scholarships and the enrollment process at WSU Tech and have the chance to ask questions.

The Wichita Promise scholarship is awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, those interested are encouraged to apply ASAP. To view eligibility requirements and program details, or to apply, visit www.wsutech.edu/WichitaPromise.
