LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation Selects 2025 Scholarship Recipients

Congratulations Alexander Wall, Audrey Wolff and William Johnson!

Alexander Wall is a high school senior at Prosper High School in Texas. He is a student pilot who plans to study Professional Flight at Southeastern Oklahoma State University and pursue a career as a commercial airline pilot. His love for aviation began at a young age, inspired by his father’s service in the U.S. Navy. He is the video production director for Prosper ISD’s stadium, where he leads a 10-person team that produces a live broadcast for the jumbotron. In his spare time, he loves to scuba dive and take his truck off-roading. Alexander started a landscaping business in seventh grade and grew it to serve over 250 customers. With over 600 volunteer hours, he serves as the Youth Missions Chair at his church, where he organizes and leads annual mission trips and fundraising efforts. He also volunteers weekly as a video and audio technician and maintains the church’s 8 acres of grass.

Audrey Wolff is currently a senior at the Classical Academy College Pathways where she has lettered in Varsity Tennis and Flag Football. She currently volunteers through Special Olympics, National Charity League, National Honor Society, and the Wild Blue Cat Shelter. Additionally, she is actively involved with the High Flights Soaring
Club and the Air Academy Cadet Squadron of Civil Air Patrol. After high school, Audrey aspires to attend the Air Force Academy and major in Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering.

William Johnson is 16-year-old homeschooler and has earned 75 dual enrollment college credit hours so far. He is hoping to complete his A.S. in Aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University before high school graduation. As a C/2dLt in the Civil Air Patrol, he currently serves as Chairman of the Cadet Advisory Council for SC Wing Group 1, and Bravo Flight Commander for the Greenville Composite Squadron. His passion for aviation started with EAA Young Eagles flights, CAP O-flights, and previous duty positions of Cadet Aerospace Education NCO and Standards/Evaluation. He was the sole Mission Controller for the State Champion team at AviCom 2024 (South Carolina Aviation Competition for high schoolers, modeled after NIFA). Soloing a glider at Bermuda High Soaring School five times so far, he plans to complete his rating soon. He will be attending Aim High Flight Academy in Bakersfield, CA this summer, and plans to complete his PPC through Pivotal Aviation in Spartanburg, SC on his 17th birthday.

The LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation was created in memory of LeRoy Homer, First Officer on board United #93, who along with Captain Jason Dahl fought against the hijackers who had planned to fly the aircraft into the US Capitol. The foundation’s mission is to encourage and support young adults who wish to pursue aviation as a professional career.
