The Guidance Academy Scholarship was established earlier this month by Guidance Aviation of Prescott, Ariz., to provide financial assistance to students enrolled in the Yavapai College Professional Pilot Program pursuing an Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Professional Pilot-Helicopters.
Guidance Aviation donated $11,00 to the Yavapai College Foundation to kick off the fund and plans to donate at least $15,000 per semester which totals at least $45,000 per year, according to company officials.
The scholarship was created by Guidance Aviation’s CEO John Stonecipher, working with Steven Walker, Director of the Yavapai College Foundation, and Paul Kirchgrabber, Director of Development, Yavapai College Foundation.
Guidance Aviation is a career placement academy specializing in high altitude flight training in both helicopters and airplanes.
