An Exciting Adventure
Designed for Enthusiastic Young Balloonists!
$400 Full Registration Fee Scholarship
Sponsored by the Nebraska Balloon Club
This is the ultimate experience for 13 to 18 year olds who want to learn more about hot air balloons, crew for hot air balloons, or hold a student or private pilot certificate.
The Balloon Federation of America is holding two separate camps in 2010: Tyler, Texas, July 11-15; and Albion, Michigan, July 18-22.
The Nebraska Balloon Club will fund the full tuition for a Nebraska resident teenager to attend. The selection for this scholarship is based on content of the student’s application which best expresses an interest in ballooning and reasons for wanting to attend the Jr. Balloonist Summer Camp. Consideration will also be given to the following factors: citizenship, character, industry, and leadership.
May 6, 2010 - NBC is pleased to announce the winner of the 2010 Junior Balloonist Summer Camp Scholarship is Aaron DeGraff from North High School.
