Embry-Riddle Names 2015 Bob Hoover Presidential Scholarship Recipients

ENTERPRISE, FLA. – The Citation Jet Pilots Association (CJP) recently joined with the Bob Hoover Legacy Foundation in contributing $50,000 each towards four Bob Hoover Presidential Scholarships to students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) on campuses in Prescott, Ariz. and Daytona Beach, Fla.

These latest scholarships – each worth $25,000 – were awarded during a reception Oct. 23, 2014 in Daytona Beach and attended by storied test pilot, aviation legend, and foundation namesake, Bob Hoover, as well as Embry-Riddle President Dr. John P. Johnson, members of the university’s board of trustees and president’s advisory board, and members of the CJP and Hoover Foundation boards.

This is the second year CJP has bestowed the Bob Hoover Presidential Scholarships, following last year’s inaugural recipient, Yann Bosch. Along with the Bob Hoover Legacy Foundation, CJP expanded the program to encompass four academic scholarships to Embry-Riddle students pursuing aviation careers.

Scholarship recipients in 2014 include those inspiring both civilian and military flying careers; even one student with the ultimate goal of starting his own airline.

Scholarship recipients were selected based on their academic record, leadership skills, service to others, work ethic and financial need. Each student submitted a written essay demonstrating their passion for – and commitment to – the aviation industry.
