Amy Kloster of Silver Bay, Minnesota, has been awarded the Arrowhead Eagles 2022 Aviation Scholarship. The scholarship is offered annually by the Arrowhead Eagles aviation organization based out of Grand Marais/Cook County Airport (KCKC). The 501(c)(3) organization works to enhance aviation opportunities and support the Grand Marais airport. Kloster’s application was selected by the Eagles Board of Directors and the scholarship certificate was awarded at their annual meeting on May 14, 2022.
“I am very excited and thankful to the Arrowhead Eagles Aviation Organization for the generous grant to advance my flying career,” said Kloster, who has been working on her private pilot certificate for the past year. Kloster’s interest in aviation grew from knowing friends who were taking flying lessons and from her grandfather, who was working to restore a vintage Piper Cub, before he passed away. Kloster inherited the project and hopes to carry forward its restoration someday.
“It’s exciting to see Amy receive this scholarship to help advance her aviation ambitions,” said Mike Raymond, Eagles President. “She’s been taking flight lessons as time and finances allow. This will be a good boost to her progress towards earning a pilot license.”
