Update from a 2024 scholarship winner: 

My name is Connor Pemberton, I was awarded the scholarship for the private pilot’s license. I have just passed my check ride for my private pilot license yesterday after completing the accelerated flight program over 20 days and 58 total hours. Attached is the picture of me with my license in front of the plane I completed my training in. I plan to attend the social on the 26th. Thank you.
