Ray Aviation Scholarship

EAA Ray Aviation Scholarship


The EAA Ray Aviation Scholarship is a scholarship program that is funded by the Ray Foundation, managed by EAA, and administered through the EAA Chapter network. Through the generous support of the Ray Foundation, EAA provides up to $11,000 to deserving youths to help cover their flight training expenses, totaling $1,800,000 in annual scholarship funding.

EAA chapters apply for a scholarship, and if approved, the chapter then awards the scholarship to a youth or young adult to help them become a pilot. In addition to scholarship funding, the chapter also helps mentor the scholar and supports them on their path to becoming a licensed pilot.

This scholarship is available for candidates 16-19 years old who are pursuing a Private Pilot or Sport Pilot certificate, and for candidates 15-19 years old who are pursuing a Glider Pilot certificate.

Elijah Hatton, shown here working on the RV-12 canopy, will graduate from Jennings County High School this spring and intends to pursue a career in aviation. To that end, through an intern program at the high school, he is able to job shadow various functions at the Seymour Airport. He is also taking flight lessons in Seymour, having accumulated 21 hours of training toward his private pilot’s license. As a result of this interest he has shown in aviation, the EAA Chapter 1328 Scholarship Committee has awarded Elijah a Ray Scholarship to help cover the training expenses necessary to acquire his private pilot’s license.

Congratulations to Elijah!
