History/Background:
In the spring of 1984, the Aero Club began its Education Scholarship Program. In 1987 we awarded our first two scholarships for advanced pilot training with a value of $2,000 each. A quarter of a century later in the Spring of 2010, thanks to the hard work of the Education Committee, the generosity of the membership in supporting the annual Scholarship Auction, and the generosity of specific members who have donated money or established memorial scholarships, the Aero Club was able to award 11 scholarships totaling $25,500.
