Youth grants (USA)
Congratulations to young american glider pilots and their Club/FBO sponsors
who successfuly applied for SSA grants in 2003. Brad Towne of the Caesar Creek Soaring Club won the Bultman award for his excellence as a ground crew worker. Garrret Willat (mentor: Gary Ittner) and Mike Westbrook (mentor: Sam Fly) scored contest grants. Dyno-Soarers in Joplin, MO recruited an impressive young CAP lady, Anneka Fitzpatrick, with the help of a Cadet grant. Applications for the Kolstad award, SSA's signature recognition of youth prowess through age 20, are due October 1 for presentation at the SSA Convention. We found it hard to choose between top applications and made a landmark 3 grants last year. We look forward to a similarly rich application field this time. However, in an economy with ultra-low interest rates, extra help would be welcome to meet the cost of disbursements from the endowment. Thanks to those that responded to our Spring letter inviting your creativity in Club/FBO youth fund-raising projects. Tax-deductible donations designated for the Kolstad or other youth funds may be sent at any time c/o SSA. John H. Campbell SSA Youth Committee |
