Grand Prize: This scholarship can be used at any FAA Approved Flight School, and is for the minimums required by the FAA to receive your license. If you flunk, or need more instruction, additional services are not included. If you choose to use the Scholarship yourself, it does not include the cost of airplane rental because you obviously, now have your own airplane! If you choose to give the Scholarship away, then it would include rental of a two-place aircraft only. If you already have a private pilot license you can apply the value towards an advanced certificate.
Second Prize:
The Second Prize is another fully paid scholarship to obtain your Private Pilots License and this Scholarship includes the plane rental. You may apply the cash value towards any other rating.
In BOTH Prizes, you can use your Scholarship towards a more advanced License (IFR, Commercial, etc). So even if you have a PPL – you can use the prizes! Each Scholarship has a Cash Value. If you wish to use the Scholarship portion of the prize to obtain a more advanced license, that is OK with us. The Cash Value of the Scholarship for the 1st prize is $3,500 and the Cash Value of the Scholarship for the 2nd Prize is $5,500. And NO we will not give you the cash or split the Cash Value for training among more than one student – we will arrange to purchase whatever packaged training would be available at your chosen FAA Approved Flight School/Instructor for a more advanced license, but only up to the Cash Value of whichever Scholarship you have won.
