Pilot scholarships will be made available to children of Pilot members and non-Pilot members (without preferential consideration to children of members).  A Pilot may not be a member of the Education Committee during the year her child or grandchild is a senior.

Two Pilot Club Scholarships will be awarded with one being designated as a Memorial Scholarship.

The Pilot Club of Yoakum has set the following guidelines for selecting recipients and awarding their scholarships:

  6. The Scholarship Funds must be used by the start of the second semester, or by the Spring Quarter in the case of a trade school.  If the scholarship is not used within the allotted time, it is to be awarded to the Alternate choice of the Scholarship Committee.  Students delaying enrollment to a later semester/quarter should notify the Pilot Club of their intentions to prevent their scholarship from being awarded to an alternate.
