Applications are Open for EAA Aviation Scholarships

.

Stop dreaming.  Start flying!  The cost of training and education is one of the biggest challenges students face when trying to achieve their goals, and EAA is able to help break down that barrier through a scholarship program.

Post-secondary scholarships help pay for collegiate-level programs in the U.S. including, but not limited to: Aerospace or aeronautical engineering, aviation business administration, air traffic control, aviation maintenance, professional flight, or any aviation-related STEM field.

Flight training and post-secondary scholarships are available to everyone over the age of 16, according to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).

The deadline to apply is March 1, 2024.

More information about individual scholarships and online application procedures is available at EAA’s scholarship website at EAA.org/Scholarships.
