Both programs will be managed by the MAMA Scholarship\nCommittee headed by Westover Airport Manager Andy Widor who said, “Thanks\nto a generous gift from the Allen family, this scholarship will allow Arthur\u2019s\nlegacy to live on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Allen\u2019s passion in aviation was first experienced in\n1967 when he took flight aboard a private aircraft that eventually led to\nflight lessons. He would be proud of the scholarship awardees as it will give\nthem an opportunity to pursue their love of aviation as well.” The Allen\nprogram will grant one scholarship of $2,500 annually to a college student\npreparing for a career in aviation management, pilot training, or aircraft\nmaintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accepting the grant, MAMA President Chris Willenborg said,\n“MAMA is honored and pleased to administer the Arthur G. Allen Memorial\nScholarship Fund on behalf of Arthur’s wife, Linda Allen and Arthur’s daughter,\nKimberly Lugo. I had the pleasure to work with Arthur Allen while he served as\nthe Chairman of the former Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission. Arthur was\npassionate about aviation\/airports and engaged frequently with aviation\nstakeholders across the statewide system of public-use airports in Massachusetts\nduring his tenure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
College students preparing for a career in aviation\nmanagement are also encouraged to apply for the Crocker Snow Memorial\nScholarship valued at $2,000 in 2024. Snow was an early pioneer in the\nMassachusetts aviation community. He founded one of the first FBOs at what\nwould later become Boston’s Logan Airport, helped establish North Atlantic air\nbases and navigation routes during WWII and served on many national committees\nto help develop innovative airport and flight operation procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
