Who Can Apply:
- While ultimately worthwhile, the training and education required to begin entry-level work in the aviation industry can be intimidatingly expensive.
- Becoming a pilot with no previous experience costs an average of nearly $88,000 and can take years of work. All of this effort pays off in the long run, as pilots make a median salary of over $121,000 per year. However, the high price tag of pilot training discourages many aspiring students from pursuing aviation.
- This scholarship aims to support future pilots by easing the burden of the financial cost of pilot training and education.
- Any high school junior, senior, or undergraduate student who is interested in becoming a pilot may apply for this scholarship.
