Become a Sponsor for Epic’s Annual Aviation Scholarship Awards
Who are the 2021 Scholarship Sponsors?
We are proud to acknowledge Cessna, a Textron company, and Air Wisconsin Airlines as our lead sponsors for the 2021 Epic Flight Academy Aviation Scholarships!
What is the scholarship all about?
Each year, Epic Flight Academy awards scholarships to qualified high school students who demonstrate a passion for aviation. To date, we have awarded more than $145,000 to aspiring pilots and aircraft technicians. In 2021, we will award $69,000. We appreciate the support of our generous sponsors.
What are the benefits to becoming a sponsor?
Besides the obvious benefits of encouraging and supporting future aviators, Epic Flight Academy’s Aviation Scholarship Awards offer generous benefits to its sponsors.
- We provide sponsors a display table at the annual awards event, which is attended by 500 to 1,000 people. More than 500 of the attendees are Epic pilots. The awards event includes fun, food, games, raffles, and a silent auction.
- Epic invites sponsors to participate in a special fishing outing – we provide the boats and gear. The theme is “Red Tails for Red Tails.” Epic’s distinctive red tails are a safety feature, and everyone loves fishing to see who can catch the biggest redfish. There will be prizes and a special dinner event for sponsors. This is held the evening before the scholarship awards are presented.
- We display sponsor logos on our website with links back to sponsors’ websites.
- Also, we invite sponsors to host pilot and mechanic recruiting events at our campus.
- Note: Sponsorship rewards vary according to level of sponsorship.
The networking opportunities are endless. Sponsors can send four representatives who will have the opportunity to meet Epic pilots and scholarship recipients.
