Checking in with Grant Conery, a 2014 AMA scholarship recipient
The AMA Scholarship Committee recently received an update from one of the students who was awarded a scholarship in 2014. Grant Conery received a $3,000 Charles Hampson Grant Scholarship in the spring of 2014. Grant has finished his first year at the University of North Dakota, where he is double majoring in the commercial aviation program and unmanned aircraft systems operations.
Grant is ecstatic to be following his lifelong dream of becoming a professional pilot. His parents, Todd and Betsy Conery, wrote in a letter to the AMA, “Grant has dreamed of flight and an aviation career since he was two years old. Every aspect of his life is fueled by the desire to create, invent, build, and fly something up in the air. He thinks a bird’s-eye view is the best, and his goals include the desire to be a pilot so he can be up in the air as well.”
In the letter, Grant stated: “I cannot thank the AMA enough for all it does in the model aviation community. I am honored to receive this gracious scholarship. The scholarship will not go to any waste—I can promise that!”
Learn more about Grant and other scholarship winners on the AMA Foundation website, amafoundation.modelaircraft.org.
