History
AvScholars.com was created by author and self-publisher Captain
Sedgwick Hines, after its conception in 1999 as a spin off of
the second edition of the self-published book Aviation Scholarships.
In order to provide students and parents with up-to-date
and accurate information, Mr. Hines decided to use technology
(via The Internet) to filter and distribute this information
in a timely fashion. The result was the creation of AvScholars.com.
