The Pajaro Valley Aviation Academy is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization located in Watsonville, California. The idea for an
aviation scholarship program sponsored by local businesses, residents,
and aviation groups was conceived by former Watsonville Municipal Airport
manager, Don French. Through his efforts and nurturing, the idea developed into an incorporated organization in the summer of 2000. The directors
represent various aviation groups in the Pajaro Valley, as well as
members from the community-at-large.
Being a non-profit allows the organization to solicit and accept tax
deductible contributions from private citizens and businesses in the
community, thereby perpetuating the source of funding for the
scholarship programs.
The Pajaro Valley Aviation Academy will continue to fund various
scholarships, in basic and advanced flight training, aircraft
maintenance, and other aviation endeavors, as long as funding from community businesses
and private individuals continues. Naturally, this is a great
opportunity for interested individuals and businesses to invest in our
local youth and give them an opportunity to "fly". PVAA is merely a
conduit through which the community can support, motivate, and
encourage interested youth to advance themselves.
