American Airline Awards Pilot Scholarships to 2 Flight Attendants Under Cadet Academy Program

23rd Apr 2025

USA – Two American Airlines flight attendants are charting a new course — from the cabin to the flight deck — thanks to the Elise Eberwein American Airlines Cadet Academy Pilot Scholarship.

Kele Lowery, based in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), and Courtney Rumbaugh, based in Miami (MIA), have been selected as this year’s recipients of the prestigious scholarship, each receiving $50,000 toward flight training. Now in its second year, the scholarship honors former American Airlines Executive Vice President Elise Eberwein’s legacy by helping passionate and driven team members — particularly those with financial need — pursue their dreams of becoming pilots.
