TransDigm Group Inc. is dedicated to empowering the futures of college students and supporting their dreams through financial scholarships and employment opportunities. Their commitment to diversity and inclusion extends beyond their employees to supporting the education of minority students in engineering and business fields. The Doug Peacock Scholarship program at Clemson University, funded by TransDigm, provides financial aid to underrepresented students, with a focus on freshmen pursuing engineering degrees.

The PEER & WISE summer program at Clemson University is designed to help incoming freshmen get acquainted with the campus and the academic expectations of their first semester. This program has been highly successful, with over 90% of participants continuing on to graduate. Many students, like Quinnya Burns, a Doug Peacock Scholar, have found tremendous support through programs like these. Quinnya is a junior majoring in business management who is actively involved in campus activities, such as playing in the Tiger Band and serving as a clarinet section leader.

TransDigm also offers internships and employment opportunities to Doug Peacock Scholars, providing them with valuable industry experience and mentorship. The company recently renewed their support for the Doug Peacock Scholarship program at Clemson University for an additional four years. Dr. Kevin Stein, CEO of TransDigm, emphasized the importance of continuous learning and self-investment for achieving success. The generous support and encouragement provided by TransDigm Group Inc. have had a significant impact on students like Quinnya Burns, helping them pursue their dreams and reach their academic goals.
