Description

NBAA Charities and the family and friends of Lawrence Ginocchio annually award the Lawrence Ginocchio Aviation Scholarship to each of five undergraduate students enrolled at NBAA/University Aviation Association (UAA) member institutions. The Lawrence Ginocchio Aviation Scholarship was created in 2001 by NBAA Charities and the family and friends of the late Lawrence "Larry" 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 utilize their interest or involvement in business aviation to enhance the lives of others. Applicants must be students enrolled or accepted into an aviation management program. They must submit two letters of recommendation from those qualified to comment on their career aspirations and qualifications, especially as they relate to business aviation. One letter must be from a member of the aviation department faculty at the institution where the applicant is currently enrolled. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
