Aviation Scholarship

Erral Lea and Glenn Plymate Memorial Flight Training Scholarship

Scholarship Award

Multiple, $2,500 and up

Scholarship Description

When Glenn Plymate’s wife, Erral, passed away in 2003, he and his family suggested that in lieu of flowers, gifts be made to the AOPA Foundation (at the time, known as the AOPA Air Safety Foundation). Glenn and his family pledged to match these and other contributions, coming together to create the Erral Lea Plymate Memorial Endowment, which now funds several flight training scholarships each year. When Glenn passed away in 2015, his name was added to the endowment.

We are honored to continue their legacy and passion for aviation.
