The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the family and friends of Lawrence Ginocchio annually award $5,000 to each of five students who are officially enrolled at NBAA/University Aviation Association (UAA)-member institutions.
The Lawrence Ginocchio Aviation Scholarship was created in 2001 by NBAA and the family and friends of the late Lawrence Ginocchio to honor his outstanding personal contribution to the business aviation community. Named for a remarkable man whose strength of character inspired a high standard of caring in the aviation community, this scholarship recognizes those individuals who have demonstrated honesty, integrity and selflessness in their dealings with others. These individuals should possess a passion for aviation, as Larry Ginocchio did, and have utilized their interest or involvement in business aviation to enhance the lives of others.
Awards will be made to U.S. citizens without regard to sex, race, religion or national origin. Scholarships will be awarded in the fall of 2010 and checks will be made payable to the school. Scholarship recipients must use the funds by December 31, 2011, or risk forfeit of the award.
Students must be undergraduate sophomores, juniors, or seniors with a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. A completed and signed application form must be accompanied by an essay, official transcript, resume and two letters of recommendation. See application form for details.
Completed and signed applications and required documents must be postmarked no later than July 30, 2010, to be considered for the scholarship.
