The 2021 Interview Team evaluated 23 applications from our new online application program, created by former scholarship recipient James Jacobson. The applicants were rated by an excellent scoring system created by Steven Kendall. Our new scholarship system is capable of managing scholarships for any organization as represented by the four different awards presented this year. Twelve finalists were interviewed via Zoom meeting on Saturday March 20, 2021. The interviews began at 09:00 AM sharp and ended at 4:00 PM. Don Wolfe moderated the interviews with a scripted list of questions and comments. Each candidate received the same standardized interview. |

Kadie Jacobs The Mach 5 Aviation Scholarship |
Senior team members Wayne Mooneyham and Steven Kendall along with Doug Fee and Andrew Chubatenko evaluated and scored each question. Team members were invited to ask follow up questions throughout the interview. The Team used Steven’s scoring system to rate the applicants and debated the performance of the top 6 applicants and chose the final 4 candidates for the awards. All four scholarship recipients were presented Lifetime Memberships in the Auburn Aviation Association and part of their Flight Scholarship Award. Please join us in welcoming these fine young aviators to the world of flying at the Auburn Airport. |
