Rosemary Nickles Aviation Scholarship

During the early days of British Petroleum’s exploration and pipeline construction in Alaska, Steve Nickles’s mother, Rosemary Nickles, helped build a Boeing 727 shuttle service for workers to and from Prudhoe Bay. For 35 years, she worked alongside those she supervised to become the Director of Flight Services of what is now the Shared Services Aviation Department.

Rosemary passed away after batting pancreatic cancer in 2012. Steve and his wife, Megan, established the Rosemary Nickles Memorial Aviation Scholarship to educate future pilots through NWC’s Aeronautics Program in her honor.
