The NGPA has two named scholarships that honor the legacy of members David Charlebois and Steven Moore.
Steven Moore, pictured above, was Executive Director of the NGPA and the NGPA Education Fund from 2012 to 2014. Steven brought leadership and vision to the NGPA and built a foundation for the success of what NGPA has become today. He demonstrated courage as an openly gay man and pilot, and embraced everyone for who they were. Steven’s passion for the NGPA scholarship program has led to many NGPA members indicating their wish to honor his memory with a dedicated scholarship fund. To date, we have received over $50,000 in funds and pledged gifts for the Steven Moore Scholarship.
