Congratulations to all who received a aviation scholarships. These will indeed make climbing the ladder a lot easier.
I am wondering what that $20,000,etc.is intended to be used for, the amount will really help toward that type of goal – flying a bizjet or airliner, etc.
Would be interesting to know what the recipients intend to use their scholarships for. In any event, I am sure the money will be used wisely and for the pursuit of their goals.
