This is just a reminder there's less than 48 hours for young people (SSA Members ages 13-25) to apply for one of the many SSA Flight Training Scholarships and Bultman Awards that will be awarded to young people in 2023. Please help us get the word out about these scholarships and encourage any Juniors in your club to apply. We're seeking high quality applicants and will be looking to your letters of recommendation for information that may be helpful in selecting the best applicants who have an appreciation for and absolute love of soaring and likely to stay engaged in the sport.

Thank you,

Chris Schrader, SSA Director, Region 6 (on behalf of the SSA Junior Soaring Committee)
