Kevin Howard Memorial Flying Scholarship
Kevin Howard was a beloved son who passed away on August 9th, 2025, after a short life dedicated to flying.
Kevin was the son of two parents who served in the U.S. Air Force, and he discovered his passion for aviation during a flight with his dad. He went on to earn his private pilot license through the Travis Air Force Base Aero Club, and he accrued over 1,100 hours. He was selected as an intern at United Airlines and worked as a skydive pilot before being hired at a training center. Kevin dreamed of becoming a pilot at United Airlines.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Kevin Howard by supporting individuals who are also happiest when flying.
