Includes High School Merit And Veterans Scholarships
L3Harris Technologiesis relaunching its Pilot Pathway Scholarship program, effective July 26, to help ensure training is accessible to more aspiring pilots.
The High School Merit Pilot Pathway consists of two scholarships – one for $30,000 and the second for $20,000. High school seniors will be able to apply for the scholarships from July 26 through October 31. Recipients will be announced in December 2021.
The Veterans Pilot Pathway consists of two $15,000 scholarships and is open to applicants transitioning from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces to a civilian career. The Veterans Pilot Pathway will be open for applications between July 26 and September 14. Recipients are expected to be announced November 11, 2021. The financial support will go towards the cost of pilot training at the L3Harris Flight Academy in Sanford, Fla.
Applicants are required to have a high school diploma with a cumulative GPA of 2.5. They should submit their applications online, alongside a 500-word essay, which is designed to showcase their passion, interest and suitability for a career in the aviation industry. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of L3Harris aviation professionals, who will select applicants who they believe to be the most deserving.
“We are delighted to relaunch these Pilot Pathway Scholarship programs,” said Rich Seagraves, Global Director of Operations, L3Harris Airline Academy. “They not only signify our commitment to training future pilots, but highlight the belief we have in the future of our industry. In addition to these scholarships, we have a series of further diversity focused scholarship programs planned for later this year. We want to ensure there is a career path for everyone who has the ability and desire to be a pilot.”
Beginning July 26, candidates can apply for the Scholarship program.
