Prospective Scholarship Applicant,

On behalf of the Virginia Airport Operators Council (VAOC), I would like to express my appreciation for your interest in the John R. Lillard VAOC Scholarship Program. The scholarship you are seeking is named for a friend, aviation enthusiast and great humanitarian. Through his leadership positions with the Capital Region Airport Commission (which operates Richmond International Airport), Chesterfield County Airport, and Eastern Airlines, John always displayed a zeal and thirst for life, aviation, family and friends. Because of his great spirit, we seek to share and commemorate his unique and special gifts with others. It is also through the kind and generous support of many of the members of the VAOC that this scholarship program is available to assist future aviation leaders as well as honor John. To this end, I am honored that you are contemplating applying for our 2010/11 scholarship award in the amount of $3,000.00.

In order for your application to be considered, you must be a Virginia high school senior, have at least a 3.75 unweighted GPA; be planning a career in the field of aviation, and must be enrolled or accepted into an aviation related program at an accredited college. View more details here.
