Announcing
The Mort W. Brown Memorial Scholarship

The International Cessna 190/195 Foundation has established its first scholarship in memory of Mort W. Brown who passed away on September 10, 2011 at the age of 103. Mort was a Cessna Production Test Pilot from December 26, 1937 until his retirement on July 31, 1972. Mort flew the first Cessna 190 Experimental test flight on December 26, 1944 and subsequently flew approximately 850 production test flights of the 1,180 total Cesnna 190/195s built between 1947 and 1955. You can learn more about Mort's remarkable career and contribution to Cessna aviation at MortBrown.info.

The Foundation's board is accepting donations to a separate fund specifically for this scholarship. A tax deductable IRS Section 501 (c) (3) donation of $195 (or any other amount) will enable the Foundation to award a $5000 scholarship to a worthy applicant for the Fall 2012 semester. All donations to the Foundation between September 2011 and July 2012 will be applied towards the Mort W. Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund unless otherwise directed by the donor(s).

Thank-you for your support.
