Overview
Created in 1988 by the International Aerospace Hall of Fame (IAHF) Board of Directors with seed money from Bill Gibbs — a San Diego entrepreneur and the founder of what is now Montgomery Field — this endowment was established to help students pursuing careers in aviation or aerospace, particularly those planning technical specialties. In 1990 the fund was renamed the Bill Gibbs Endowment Fund. On April 1, 1993 the IAHF merged into what is today the San Diego Air & Space Museum, which has since managed the endowment.
