Bultman Youth Flight Scholarship
This is a "worker" award for a young soaring pilot who has made impressive contributions to a USA soaring Club or School. Someone who may be too financially strapped to buy tows for personal recreation or personal progress in the sport.
The Bultman award is intended to finance post-solo soaring by SSA members aged 14-22. This includes activities such as chasing badges, attending wave camps and entering contests, as opposed to flight training for FAA ratings.
Winners of this single annual scholarship are selected from young soaring-pilots and SSA member applicants who are of great service at a USA gliderport.
The sponsors of this program, from throughout the USA soaring community, hope the scholarship will help a few more young people make the transition from basic glider flying to sport soaring. Perhaps most importantly, this is a "thank you" to young ground-crew workers on whom the sport depends so much.
Jane & Elizabeth Bultman set up this award to honor their late husband and father, Richard, and to remind us of the many ground-crew friends on which we rely on every time we soar.
Tax-deductible donations to "SSA" for the "BULTMAN Youth Flight Scholarship" may be sent at any time to the Soaring Society of America, Inc.
