Experimental Aircraft Association awards scholarships

The Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 55 of Mason has named two students as recipients of its Newberry Aviation Scholarship for 2021.  

Anthony Banks was awarded a scholarship in the amount of $1,500, and Newton Kingsbury was awarded a $1,000 scholarship. Both Banks and Kingsbury are students at Lansing Community College School of Aviation Technology located at Mason Jewett Field, Mason, Michigan.  

EAA Chapter 55 has a long-standing commitment to support educational opportunities for students seeking aviation careers. These students were chosen based on a combination of academic achievement and defined goals for the future.

The chapter raises funds to support its scholarship program by hosting a pancake breakfast in June and Mason Aviation Day in August. Additional information about the chapter and its fundraising events can be found at chapters.eaa.org/eaa55.
