Each year, with EAA approval, our chapter awards a qualified youth funding towards pilot training for their private pilots license. Since 2018, we have awarded six youth Ray Scholarships. Four have earned their Airplane - Single Engine, Land licenses. Our other scholars are currently working on completing their pilot training.
The EAA Ray Aviation Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship program that is funded by the Ray Foundation, managed by EAA, and administered through the EAA Chapters network. Through the generous support of the Ray Foundation, EAA provides up to $12,000 to deserving youths to help cover their flight training expenses, totaling $2,250,000 in annual scholarship funding.
