In a post from the official Instagram account of Watch The Yard, they revealed that the gift came from a partnership with Paramount Pictures. WTY notes that the training is required for the students to graduate and it would make their lives much more manageable.

“Did you know that Hampton University has a highly-esteemed aviation program? Paramount Pictures, in partnership with Watch The Yard, just covered the cost for all of Hampton University’s aviation students to take their required pilot flight simulation training,” Ciara White-Sparks, an HU broadcasting major, said. “This training is required for students to graduate, so we thought we would make life easier on Hampton’s future pilots by covering the cost with vouchers to Prevailance Aerospace and Rick’s Aviation.

“And it’s not just for this year’s students; we’re covering all of HU aviation students up to the graduating class of 2026,” she added.
