The Aerial Tribute Project Volunteer Scholarship recognizes student pilots who demonstrate dedication to both aviation and service.

We created this scholarship because we believe the qualities developed through volunteering, such as resiliency, selflessness, and professionalism, are the same qualities that make great pilots. By supporting student pilots who embody these values, we hope to inspire more people to pursue opportunities in the charity flying community throughout their careers and use their aviation skills to help others in need.

✈️ Applications for the Aerial Tribute Project Volunteer Scholarship are open until April 30th.
