National Aviation Scholarships

Students have access to the same merit or need-based scholarships, grants, part-time student employment and student loans that others have access to, but can also apply for consideration to specialized funding resources (some listed in the box at right). These can be applied to the general cost of attendance, which also includes flight training expenses.

The University Aviation Association has compiled a comprehensive list of aviation scholarships from around the country in a publication, available here.
