This is such an incredible achievement and a testament to the generosity of our supporters. We have reached a huge milestone of 100 scholarships in under 8 years, allowing us to far exceed our original commitment of 6 awards per year. We are so blessed to have such a dedicated community that supports our mission to honor and carry on Cajun's legacy. Our goal is and always will be to help as many young people pursue their aviation related goals for as long as possible. "Find your PASSION, that gives you PURPOSE, be PERSISTENT in your pursuit, be PERSONABLE - Humble, Credible and Approachable, and you will PROSPER" - Maj. Stephen "Cajun" Del Bagno
