Congratulations, 2026 Scholarship Recipients!

Watch this space for 2027 scholarships in the fall of 2026.

The Cape Area Pilots Association, Inc. (CAPA) was founded in 1995 to further the interest in aviation for those living in the Cape Cod and Islands area.

Scholarships are made possible thanks to generous donations

Donations are made by CAPA members when renewing their membership, scholarship raffles and by other aviation enthusiasts, dedicated to flight safety, interested in increasing local interest in aviation, and fostering the growth of those individuals interested in an aviation career.

The Palmer and Jane D. Davenport Scholarship was created in honor of Palmer ‘Pete’ Davenport.

Pete flew for over 50 years and was based in Hyannis. His last plane, a Beechcraft Baron, spent 45 years serving the family well. The day Pete received his ticket, he asked his son DeWitt to go up for a ride in Chet Henderson’s cub. The canvas vintage aircraft changed his life and that of many others in our community.

The Red Beach Memorial Scholarship was developed to honor Red Beach a well-loved Chatham flight instructor, killed in a tragic aviation accident. The generosity of CAPA members supports this award through their donations.

CAPA is tremendously grateful to these generous donations and to every supporter committed to fostering the education of individuals interested in an aviation career.
