The scholarship committee consists of four members (left to right): MAJ Sherry D Ferki USA (Ret) (Chair), LCDR Lynn M Terry USN (Ret), CDR Scott Dickinson, USN (Ret) and COL Ben Barnard, USAF (Ret).

The PACMOAA scholarship program was started by COL Frank Robertson, USA (Ret). He rose to a point of order at one of our early meetings and said that we should be more than a supper club; we should have an impact on the community. To this end, he proposed the establishment of a scholarship fund. On the spot he wrote a check for $500 and dared anyone to match it. He found his match in LTC Ruth Sweet. She matched his check and for several years, almost until her demise, contributed $500 annually to the fund. Frank Robertson moved out of the area shortly after.
