Pay for Flight Training & Aviation Education
Aviation Scholarships
Please utilize our aviation scholarships directory to find funding for your aviation dreams. You can finance a large portion of the high flight training costs with essays, letters of recommendation, hard work in school, and community involvement.
How can scholarships
help fund pilot training?
Aviation scholarships are payments awarded to aspiring pilots to support them with financing their training. The difference between a flight school scholarship and loan is that scholarships do not need to be paid back, whereas loans do. Scholarships are often paid to your flight school or academic institution directly for your educational use.
We have also included resources for aviation management students, dispatchers, flight attendants, mechanics, and more.
