Scholarship Money for Future Pilots and Techs Starts With High Schoolers, Not Flight School

Epic Flight Academy is now accepting applications for $145,000 in scholarship funding set aside for high school students headed toward careers as pilots or aircraft technicians. For owners who depend on a deep bench of qualified crew and maintenance staff to keep aircraft on the line, that bench gets built years before anyone sits for a type rating or an A&P exam. The money is aimed squarely at the stage where cost most often pushes a promising candidate out of aviation before they ever start.
