This spring, a group of high school students hope to take to the skies through a new scholarship program from the Williamsburg Jamestown Airport.
The airport has announced Williamsburg Aviation Scholarship Program to help aspiring pilots earn their licenses. The nonprofit program supports STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – while giving youth a chance to pursue a career in aviation.
The first class is planned for the spring at Williamsburg Flight Center, with 10 students selected by local high schools for their academic and extra-curricular accomplishments and enthusiasm for flying.
For WASP, the airport wants to raise $50,000 in the next several months.
Checks or money orders can be dropped off at the airport or mailed to Williamsburg Aviation Scholarship Program, 102 Marclay Road, Williamsburg, VA, 23185.
Learn more about the airport on its website.
