Partial scholarships are available while funding lasts. Early application is encouraged as scholarship funding is limited. Applications will be reviewed on a fist-come, first-served basis. Campers may apply for a partial scholarship towards their remaining balance after their registration is complete. If your camper would like to apply for a partial scholarship, please check the box and a scholarship application will be sent to you. Awards and amounts will be determined based upon the camper's passion for and dedication to aviation as demonstrated in their scholarship application essay.
