Kim Tyner was a beloved sister and a private pilot who was a trailblazer in her field and an inspiration to her loved ones and to young women who share her interests.

Air travel has become increasingly essential to the daily lives of many as our ever-globalized world demands domestic and international travel and shipping. The safety of air travel is often taken for granted, and the dangers that can come from air travel go unrecognized. Aeronautic positions such as air traffic control operators, pilots, aircraft maintenance workers, and beyond are vital parts of the economy and the explorations of society. Ensuring the continued safety of the field requires uplifting the brightest minds as they pursue their fields.

This scholarship seeks to honor the legacy of Kim Tyner by supporting students who share her passion for learning to fly.

Any high school graduate who is twenty-five years old or younger may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have a desire to learn to fly or to work in aeronautics.
