About the Scholarships
ACSC’s prestige led to stewardship, preservation and ultimate relocation of the famed Hughes Flying Boat (the Spruce Goose). Revenue from this stewardship is used for ACSC’s scholarship program.
A Marsha Toy Scholarship Fund has been established with an endowment of $100,000 from the founder of Academy Pacific Travel College.
Recipients of this scholarship fund will be high school juniors and seniors to encourage their post-secondary education in aviation/aerospace and related scientific technology.
