The Lawrence Ginocchio Aviation Scholarship was created in 2001 by NBAA and the family and friends of the late Lawrence Ginocchio to honor his outstanding personal contribution to the business aviation community.

Named for a remarkable man whose strength of character inspired a high standard of caring in the aviation community, the Lawrence Ginocchio Aviation Scholarship recognizes those individuals who have demonstrated honesty, integrity and selflessness in their dealings with others. These individuals should possess a passion for aviation, as Larry Ginocchio did, and have utilized their interest or involvement in business aviation to enhance the lives of others.

NBAA and the family and friends of Lawrence Ginocchio will annually award $25,000 to five students ($5,000 per student) who are officially enrolled at NBAA/University Aviation Association (UAA)-member institutions Students must be undergraduate sophomores, juniors, or seniors with a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
