Lovelace-Drake Memorial Scholarship
Scholarship Description
The scholarship provides continued pilot training in either tailwheel operation or aerobatic flying, so the recipient might increase his or her aeronautical knowledge and insight, and in turn, make a contribution of service back to the aviation community. The recipient of this scholarship will receive the Basic Aerobatic course from Grayout Aerosports, LLC. The course consists of a 5 flight curriculum (approx. 5 hrs of flight time) and associated ground school sessions (approx. 10-15 hrs of ground instructions). Due to weather and transportation limitations, there is no time limit on the redemption of the scholarship. Although, the prescribed effectiveness tracking criteria will still be enforced. The training will be planned to take place in Indianapolis (Indianapolis Regional Airport, KMQJ). Accommodations could be made to accomplish the training elsewhere if logistical opportunities exist.
