Peter Van Norde Scholarship

Peter Van Norde was a Tech Graduate in Aerospace Engineering. In 1999, he and his family generously donated a Cessna 310 to the club. The logistics of having a twin engine aircraft in the club did not work out, so with the Van Norde family's blessing, the aircraft was sold and the proceeds placed into a scholarship fund.

This fund allows the YJFC to give a $1,000 scholarship each year to a deserving Georgia Tech student. The amount is credited to the recipient's YJFC account for post-solo time placed on Club aircraft. The award may only be used for primary training up until the time the recipient attains their private pilot's certificate.

Congratulations to Bryan Powell, the 2007 recipient of the Peter Van Norde Scholarship!
