Get Patrick through Purdue Univ.

Donation protected
I have been accepted into Purdue University’s Professional Flight Program and I’m beyond excited.    I've wanted to fly since before I could say the word "airplane.  Actually, to say that I've always wanted to be a pilot is an understatement.  It’s more than a “want.”  It is what I’m meant to do!

In 2016, I was fortunate to be awarded the Upwind Summer Scholarship through the San Carlos Flight Center. This scholarship provided the funding for my private pilot’s license, and I thrived in this 8 week intensive program. This was an amazing experience, and whet my appetite even more to pursue my flight goals. 

Purdue’s Professional Flight Program is the answer to my dreams and the pathway to my career.  I am so ready to engross myself in a flight education.    

Purdue is a state school, so I am required to pay out-of-state tuition and an additional fee for the flight program.  I am faced with an annual tuition upwards of $62,000.  Since Purdue’s Professional Flight Program is a perfect fit for me, my parents and I are doing everything we can to make it happen.   Any donation towards my future is greatly appreciated. 

Please feel free to share this link with friends, family, pilots, engineers, Purdue alum and anyone who can help make my dream come true. 

Please enjoy this short video that I put together too:
