We want to share an important update regarding our Annual Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser.

As we look ahead, our Clay Shoot venue is unavailable due to substantial renovations, so we will not host the annual fundraiser in 2026. The event will return in 2027, and this time allows us to thoughtfully plan for an even stronger and more impactful experience that continues to honor the purpose of the Memorial Scholarship and the students it supports.

We remain deeply grateful for the generosity and support shown by our community each year. The impact of this fundraiser—and your continued commitment—has helped provide valuable opportunities for PIA students pursuing careers in aviation.

Though we will not gather for the event this year, our commitment to the Memorial Scholarship and the students it supports remains unchanged. For those who would like to continue supporting the Memorial Scholarship, we welcome contributions using the form below.

We look forward to sharing future plans and continued opportunities to engage in the months ahead.

Thank you for your ongoing support of PIA and our students.

PIA’s fundraising events support scholarships for deserving students. PIA is pleased to announce that 20 students were awarded the PIA Memorial Scholarship for 2024. The $2,000 scholarships were issued to the students based on a combination of financial need and academic success, as well as their performance in a panel interview.
