EAA, Warbird Chapters Provide EAA Aeroscholarship

First Scholarships Of Their Kind Granted To College-Bound Aviation Students 

EAA Warbird Chapter 17, along with EAA Chapters 268 and 690 are providing an EAA AeroScholars scholarship for a 16-year-old South Atlanta High School student to pursue aviation. Liz Porter, Warbird Chapter 17, coordinated the effort. The scholarship is the first EAA AeroScholars scholarship granted by EAA Chapters in Georgia and allows junior Derrick Poole to enroll in Fundamentals of Aviation Science, a web-based course for high school students that offers college credit.

Derrick (above, right) became fascinated with aviation after seeing a helicopter on display at summer camp when he was 8 years old. At that point, Derrick says, he knew he wanted to fly someday and is now pursuing his private pilot license. He will also receive college credit after successfully completing the course.

EAA hosted several education professionals, including several from the Atlanta area, at last fall's Coffy Gregory (Women in Aviation) Weekend.
