Experimental Aircraft Association Scholarships

Dreaming of becoming a pilot or getting an additional rating? EAA can help your aviation dreams become a reality. EAA’s scholarships are supported by dozens of donors, benefactors, and others who “pass it forward” by endowing these programs.

One application is used for ALL scholarships; scholarship applicants will be considered for all scholarships for which they qualify.

With the help of our generous donors, the EAA Aviation Foundation awarded over $487,000 in flight training scholarships, helping 71 students pursue their dreams of flight.

Application Considerations:

• All applications are reviewed against the criteria for the individual scholarships and then awarded to those who show the greatest potential to be actively engaged in aviation.
• We look for well-rounded applicants, who have a strong passion for aviation and have participated in aviation and nonaviation clubs, organizations, and extracurricular activities.
• Volunteering for local organizations, both aviation and nonaviation related, will highlight your application to the selection committee.
• While not required, we give preference to applicants who are an EAA member or a member of their local EAA chapter.
• To apply, you must be a citizen or resident of the United States or Canada, or be eligible to work or study in the United States or Canada, such as through a visa.
