We had the pleasure of seeing our 2025 Elisha Hall Memorial Scholarship winner, Sara McGeHee (left), at !

Sara has a unique story that includes interning at Executive Jet Management, standing out with her curiosity, excitement, class, and poise as she was in a complex and challenging role. Unbeknownst to her, she was working in the exact room Elisha Hall worked in.

Transitioning to Fall 2024 from Illinois, she lived with a foster family during her internship. Her fearlessness and ingenuity was apparent as she navigated living in a new city, networking, and changing schools all while finding ways to keep her costs down as a young student with one living parent.

We couldn’t be more proud to offer our scholarship this year to Sara! We can’t wait to see her soar!

The Elisha Hall Memorial Scholarship is offered through . Applications usually open late Summer/early Fall.
