Anyone know of any good scholarships for flight school.

Aviation has been something which has interested me as a career for a very long time. However, financially it is very difficult for me to make this commitment at my current stage of life. Does anyone know if scholarships for flight school exist? If so please let me know.

Is the military an option for you? Either serving as an officer and gunning for a pilot slot or enlisting then using your GI benefits to pay for training once you get out.

I have looked into that and it is for sure an option. However, I don't have a bachelors degree and IDK if I want to go to school for 4 years to have a lottery chance of becoming a pilot in the military. Right now it just feels more viable to go the civilian route. However, I will look into it some more.

https://www.aviationstart.org/ has a list, apparently (Disclaimer, I have not looked at it). You may be able to find more by looking at local organizations, such as local EAA and Women in Aviation chapters and regional pilot organizations (eg state pilot organizations, etc). Aviation Careers Podcast also has a list your can purchase for $10.

If anyone reading this is a female pilot, or aspiring pilot, the 99s have a lot of great scholarship opportunities.

For both initial ratings, continued flight education/ratings.
