About the Scholarship
At Airbus, our purpose is to pioneer sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world. Through our Community Impact programme, we focus on supporting sustainable solutions that tackle community-identified needs, with a specific priority on enabling change for vulnerable people in the areas of youth development and environmental impact.
We invest in innovative education models and projects that increase equitable access to education and economic opportunities for vulnerable communities. We also put our efforts behind climate adaptation and resilience implementation solutions that address the economic, social and ecosystem impact of climate change.
