PIPER J5.5

corvallis,or
At the airport today somebody mentioned getting a few people together to buy a cub and offer some free instruction to younger people to get them interested in flying. Enough to get them to solo for example.
I would be more in favor of a scholarship all the way through private pilot.
It got me thinking of starting a non-profit 501-C3 to receive donations and give scholarships to 16-20 year olds to learn to fly. To receive scholarship one would have to apply and write an essay about aviation in some capacity. Full scholarships for financially challenged applicants and we could offer partial too.
I was was thinking of buying a stock pa-12 or j-5 with a O-235. Easy to fly and will hold its value.
I was was thinking of buying the plane and donate it’s use.
I think raising money would be pretty easy because most pilots I know worry general aviation is dying and needs new life.
Are any of you involved or have thought about this?
I would guess the plane would need to be owned by an LLC.
Any advise would be appreciated.
