Endowed Scholarships & Fellowships
Though the proceeds from endowed funds as well as direct gifts, the Experimental Aircraft Association regularly recognizes, encourages and supports excellence among individuals committed to pursuing the knowledge, skills and experience demanded by the field of aviation. EAA's scholarships are offered to individuals who share our passion for flight, whether they seek to build new skills at EAA Air Academy, participate in EAA's web-delivered ground school (AeroScholars Program) or seek to study the technologies and skills needed in the field of aviation at accredited institutions of learning.
The generous supporters providing EAA's scholarships are committed to aviation's future leadership. Scholarships offer a meaningful and substantial way to help students with a dream to become the innovators, aviators and engineers of tomorrow. EAA's endowed scholarships are generally named in the donor's honor or honor someone the donor feels is worthy of recognition. The donor acting in conjunction with EAA's professional staff determines the scholarship's terms.
An endowment gift of approximately $10,000 is generally sufficient to generate $500 per year in scholarship funding. Some endowments remain at $10,000; others receive additional funds that may either be used for increasing the scholarship to offset increased expenses for recipients or to allow the fund to grow enabling it to support additional scholarships.
