By General Aviation News Staff · November 8, 2021 ·

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has opened applications for its latest round of scholarships that are made possible through donations to the AOPA Foundation.

The primary training scholarships include sport, recreational, or private pilot certification, while the advanced training scholarships include instrument ratings and higher certification levels. Another category of scholarships is available for aviation maintenance technician certification.

Scholarships range from $2,500 to $14,000.

The deadline to apply is Feb. 11, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
