How to find flying scholarships in the U.S. for international students?

I'm passionate about aviation and interested in flying schools in the U.S. Are there scholarships available for international students pursuing aviation training? Any specific programs or organizations that offer these flying scholarships?

There are indeed several scholarships available for international students looking to pursue aviation training in the U.S.

1. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). They offer multiple scholarships annually not just for American residents but also for international students.

2. The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) has multiple options as well. They have scholarships geared towards international students attending flight training programs in the U.S.

3. National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) offers a variety of scholarships for students pursuing careers in Business Aviation Management, and some of these are open to international students.

4. Lastly, The Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots, offers multiple scholarships. Some awards are available for non-U.S. citizens.

Keep in mind that each program has its own set of requirements, deadlines, and application procedures. Make sure you closely review each one and choose the most appropriate based on your specific circumstances.

In addition to these, several flight schools provide scholarships specifically for enrolled students, so check out the financial aid page or contact the financial aid office of the schools that interest you.

Just remember that flight training can be costly, and while scholarships can help significantly, they may not completely cover all costs associated with your training. So, you may also need to explore other funding options. Good luck with your pursuit of a career in aviation!
