We are so pleased to announce that the very first scholarship from our Betty Stagg-Turner Memorial Scholarship fund has been awarded via the Middletown Community Foundation! The recipient is a Butler Tech Senior, Clara Cradduck. Clara is well on her way in her pursuit of achieving her aviation goals. She has already earned her private Pilot license, commercial drone license, and has also passed her instrument written exam. She has plans to attend Miami Oxford to obtain her Bachelors degree, and then follow a dream of missionary "bush" aviation.

We recently invited Clara to the museum to learn a little more about her, and to allow her to learn a little more about Betty and the WASP.

Congratulations, Clara!
