The Delaware Aviation Hall of Fame in 2001 established an annual Youth Achievement Award. It is given to the young man or woman who has distinguished himself or herself in aviation training, career development and participation in community aviation activities.
Delaware youths age 15 though 21 who are pursuing careers in aviation, in the air or on the ground, are eligible. Non-resident youths enrolled in aviation training programs in Delaware are also eligible.
Selection is determined by representatives of five major aviation organizations in the First State: Air Force Association, Civil Air Patrol, Delaware Pilots Association, Delaware Ninety-Nines, and Delaware chapter 240 of the Experimental Aircraft Association.
Nominations should not exceed two single spaced pages. Supporting documents are welcome. Nominations, postmarked no later than June 1, 2010, should be sent to:
