Epic Flight Academy is proud share this comprehensive list of scholarships. Additionally, we offer annual scholarships to U.S. high school students. We provide scholarships for pilot training and aircraft mechanic training. We know that the cost of flight training may keep many people from pursuing their aviation dreams. Therefore, we maintain the following list that may help you achieve your goal of learning to fly. There are also scholarships to support other types of related careers, such as air traffic controller or aircraft mechanic.

These scholarships and grants are just one way to fund your aviation training. You could also seek local support from your community organizations. For instance, some students find support through Rotary Clubs or other organizations. You might also consider a student loan, which is a common way to pay tuition. There are companies that deal solely in student loans, such as Sallie Mae. However, many students also have success by applying to their hometown banks. With pilot salaries increasing, a career in aviation is rewarding in many ways. We encourage you to review this list and apply. Also, we wish you all the best in achieving your aviation goals!
