✈Learn to fly planes with the Bill Cowden Aviation Scholarship!👩✈️👨✈️
For Bill Cowden, flying was more than a career—it was his passion. A dedicated pilot with over 7,500 flight hours, Bill inspired many through his mentorship and love for aviation. After his passing in 2014, his wife, Heather, established a scholarship in his honor to help aspiring pilots pursue advanced training.
Since 2015, this $1,500 scholarship has supported pilots striving for higher ratings. Applications are open from March–May each year. Learn more at cfdunncounty.org/cowden-aviation.
