Heartland EAA Chapter 1240 has a goal of promoting and furthering youth aviation education and flight training. To assist in meeting that goal, the chapter will be awarding an aviation education / flight training scholarship to an area high school, home school or college student.
The scholarship would be in the amount of $8,000 and would be used for the flight training needed to attain the Private Pilot Certificate and beyond depending upon the student ability and interest. The goal is to have the scholarship recipient solo within 6 months and their Private Pilot Certificate within 18 months.
