For the 20th consecutive year, Dolphin Aviation owner Ron Ciaravella presented the Dolphin Aviation Scholarship Awards to Sarasota-area high school graduates to support their first year of college. “For 20 years we’ve helped young scholars pursue their academic goals and for two decades they’ve given me back hope in our collective future,” said Dolphin Aviation Owner Ron Ciaravella in an in-person award ceremony. “I’m impressed every year with their intelligence, drive and focus, and this year even more so. With me today you see our future artists, lawyers, teachers and pilots. We invite you to honor, applaud and support them in their dreams as well.”
