Hi,
  I am a final year mechanical engineering student from India. I shall complete my graduation by July 2008. I am interested in aircraft maintenance of commercial aircrafts. Are there any courses available, related to aircraft maintenance? If yes, which university provide such courses? Also what could be the approx. fees of these courses? Is scholarship

Answer
Hi,

There are a number of USA-based schools that offer aviation maintenance and aviation maintenance management programs.  The best listing for such schools is available from the University Aviation Association and is entitled THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE.  It is available by contacting the UAA at www.uaa.aero or by calling them at 334-844-2434.  The cost is around $20 US.  The UAA listing does list some schools in other countries.  The fees for attendance at each school will vary with the tuition charged by each school.  There are aviation scholarships available....a listing of aviation scholarshihps entitleed THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION SCHOLARSHIP LISTING is also available from the UAA.  (contact information above)
