Victor L. Davis Memorial Scholarship

Victor Davis was the President of the Black Aviation Association (BAA), a registered student organization at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, at the time of his death in 1993. Victor’s lifelong dream was to earn his Federal Aviation Administration flight certificates and then fly for a major airline. Victor was in the process of completing his commercial pilot certificate at SIUC with an instrument rating when he passed away.

SIU.

The goal of the Victor Davis Memorial Aviation Scholarship is to help aviation flight and aviation management students at SIU with their educational costs.
