Conrad Spirrison Memorial Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Pilot International
Overview
The Conrad Spirrison Memorial Scholarship was created in 2022 to financially support an undergraduate student who intends to pursue a career in education. Dr. Conrad Spirrison—father of Holly Baker and co-pilot of Sophia Spirrison—was a long-time supporter of Pilot International’s work.
