| The Ruby Allen Faircloth Scholarship was created to award a Mount San Antonio College of Aviation Flight Student with a $600.00 (20 hours of Instruction) per semester Scholarship to be applied to their goal of achieving their next rating. I am proud to offer this opportunity to a College of Aviation Flight Student in the name of my beloved Grandmother, Ruby A. Faircloth. Benjamin A.D. Lipson is the first recipient of the Ruby Allen Faircloth Scholarship Spring 2012 Ben began his flight training at Mt.

| My Grandmother had the single most impact on my life, more so than any other single individual on this earth. She was a woman of great strength and wisdom who relied on the beliefs of Jesus Christ to govern her every action. My Grandmother was my best friend growing up and I loved every minute that we spent together, whether visiting her during the summer time in Southern California or when she came to live with us in Phoenix, Arizona. My greatest desire growing up was to make my Grandmother proud of me. I know I am very proud to be her Grandson and she is in my heart forever. |
