AOPA Foundation Offers Flight Training Scholarships

Eleven Awards To Be Made Totalling $62,000

The AOPA Foundation will award 11 scholarships in 2014 to help support outstanding student pilots. Ten of the scholarships will provide $5,000 each and an eleventh scholarship will award $12,000 to student pilots pursuing an FAA sport, recreational or private pilot certificate.

Recipients will be chosen based on merit, including previous accomplishments, ability to set goals and a demonstrated commitment to flight training and general aviation. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, be at least 16 years old, hold a current FAA student pilot certificate at the time of application, be a current and paid member of AOPA at both the time of application and when the scholarship is awarded, and not have completed the FAA practical test/checkride at the time of application.

Qualified candidates can submit applications online. Students will be required to complete a series of essay questions and save responses using their AOPA login. Once the application is completed, students will receive a link to share with two references of their choice. They must receive two complete references before the application deadline. Once completed, applications will be reviewed by a team of AOPA staff.

The application deadline is Aug. 22 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The scholarships will be awarded at the AOPA Homecoming Fly-In in Frederick, MD, on Oct. 4. Winners will be notified prior to the Homecoming Fly-In and need not be present to accept the award.
