Bob King Memorial Scholarship

The Bob King Co-Pilot Memorial Scholarship was established in 2015 to provide financial assistance to graduating high school seniors and/or undergraduate students preparing for a career that furthers Pilot InternationalÔÇÖs mission. Co-Pilot Bob ÔÇ£Santa BobÔÇØ King was the husband of Pilot Shirley King, a member of the Pilot Club of CSRA in Augusta, Georgia. Bob was passionate in his support of Co-Pilot projects on the state and international level, most notably improvements at Pilot International Headquarters in Macon, GA. Bob passed away on September 3, 2012, while on a cruise celebrating his 44th wedding anniversary. During the 2014 Pilot International Leadership Conference, the Co-Pilots elected to fund a scholarship in BobÔÇÖs memory. Scholarships are based on community service, financial need, academic success, and application contents. Scholarships are awarded for one academic year. A student may re-apply and be granted the Bob King Co-Pilot Scholarship for no more than 3 additional years. Award amounts may vary, but will not exceed $1,500 per year for full time students and $750.00 for part time students. Two individual scholarships will be awarded each year.
