ICAS Foundation Opens Special Application Window
The ICAS Foundation just announced that applications will be
accepted during August and September for the Sean DeRosier Memorial
Scholarship. The scholarship is available to a young man or woman
with a private pilot license between the ages of 18 and 31 and
residing in the western United States, defined as the states of
California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada or Idaho.
The scholarship is to be used toward aerobatic flight training
or schooling toward obtaining an A&P license. The 2005
scholarship winner will be announced during the ICAS Convention in
December.
The scholarship fund was initiated with a donation from the
organizers of the MCAS Cherry Point Air Show and Sean D. Tucker.
The scholarship honors air show pilot and ICAS member Sean
DeRosier, who died while performing at the MCAS Miramar Air Show in
San Diego last October. Sean’s parents, Ben and Doris
DeRosier, Sean’s fiancé Tami Martin, family friends
Gigi Brisson and Lonnie Autry, Jr., and Sean’s childhood
friend Brant Seghetti will serve on the first selection
committee.
Interested applicants may obtain application materials and
submission instructions from the ICAS Foundation web site at www.icasfoundation.org.
Applications must be received by September 30, 2005.
“This scholarship is a fitting tribute to Sean,”
said Ben DeRosier. “He loved to fly, and if he wasn’t
flying, he was in the shop working on one airplane or
another.”
The ICAS Foundation is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization
dedicated to preserving the air show industry's valuable heritage
through cataloging and storing of artifacts, articulating the value
of air shows and demonstration flying to the public, helping
families of those in the air show industry who have suffered
tragedy, and supporting the pilots and performers of the future
through scholarships. In addition to the scholarship funds which
memorialize air show industry leaders, the Foundation’s
programs include an Air Show Hall of Fame and a Family Fund to
assist families when tragedy strikes within the air show
community.
