2021 Scholarship Winners Announced

The Colorado Pilots Association announced their Annual scholarship winners for the 2021. The scholarship committee was very busy this year as we awarded two Private Pilot, two CFI, and two Emily Howell Warner scholarships this year. We had numerous applicants for each position, and the committee interviewed each candidate via Zoom. All the candidates were highly qualified. The Private Pilot awardees are Meya Luera of Western Air Flight Academy, and Sterling Smith of McAir Aviation. The CFI Awardees are Calvin Ringleberg of Western Air Flight Academy, and Sara Bauermeister of AIMS Community College. The Warner scholarship awardees are Laura Mendoza of McAir Aviation, and Amy White of Front Range Flight School.
   
We at the Colorado Pilots Association recognized the need to continue growing the population of pilots in Colorado. To that end, we have taken a two pronged approach, offering scholarships for Private Pilot, and Certificated Flight Instructor training. Two scholarships annually are available in each area, valued at $2500 each. Keep a look out for the winners and look for them in the skies over the Centennial State.

Are you thinking about becoming a CFI or do you know a person passionate about aviation who wants to start? Tell them about the 2022 Colorado Pilots Association Scholarships for 2022 and send them to CPA website. Encourage them to join CPA and help keep CPA strong.
