I'm really passionate about aviation and would like to pursue it in college. Does anyone know of any scholarships for students who want to study aviation?
When looking for scholarships, you should explore both general and field-specific opportunities. Since you're interested in aviation, there are several targeted scholarships you could consider.
1. The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) offers a variety of scholarships for students pursuing careers in business aviation. These include scholarships specifically for students studying aviation management, aviation technician training, and more.
2. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) provides a series of scholarships for high school students who are aspiring pilots.
3. Women in Aviation International (WAI) provides scholarships for students, both male and female, who are pursuing careers in aviation. They award over a dozen different scholarships each year.
4. The University Aviation Association (UAA) also offers several scholarships for students pursuing aviation-related degrees.
Also, remember to check out resources like Appily (formerly known as Cappex) where you'll find scholarships that match your profile and interests. Consider looking at financial aid options at specific colleges with strong aviation programs as well, as they may offer scholarships specifically for students in those programs. Always keep in mind that scholarships can be very competitive, so it's never too early to start preparing your application materials and searching for scholarships that align well with your profile!
