The Philip H. Jones Family and the Association of Naval
Aviation are very pleased to sponsor the Philip H. Jones
Naval Aviation Scholarship. The scholarship honors the
service and sacrifice of LCDR Philip H. Jones, USN (Ret), who
started his Naval Aviation career as an Aviation Pilot during
WWII.
The Philip H. Jones Naval Aviation Scholarship will
principally provide scholarship opportunities for the sons and
daughters of Naval Aviators and Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard Aircrewmen who died while on active duty serving in the
United States Navy, United States Marine Corps or United States
Coast Guard. Naval Aviators are defined as Navy, Marine Corps
or Coast Guard aviators who were rated pilots or Naval Flight
Officers. Navy and Coast Guard Aircrewmen and Marine Corps
Combat Aircrewmen are those persons formally designated as such
and authorized to wear the respective Aircrew warfare badge.
As circumstances may allow, eligibility criteria may be
expanded to include other persons, the categories of whom shall
fit the general intent of the Philip H. Jones Naval Aviation
Scholarship.
The Scholarship program will provide undergraduate students
scholarships that cover or defer the cost of only tuition and
fees. Scholarship funds cannot be used for any other expenses,
such as room and board.
The program intends to award at least one scholarship each
year; more may be awarded as funding allows. Scholarships may
be renewable annually to a maximum of four years or degree
attainment, whichever comes first. Renewal will depend on
student academic achievement and the availability of funds.
Applications for renewal will normally be considered before
initial applications.
The value of the scholarship may change year-to-year; the
amount of each annual scholarship and each renewal will be
based on availability of funds.
