It’s hard to believe that 2023 has gone so quickly, but we’re quickly approaching another APA scholarship application cycle. The deadline for applications is 31 October 2023 and we encourage all students pursuing aviation careers to apply. The Scholarship Committee will be starting our communication and outreach sessions in the late August timeframe to ensure students (and parents!) are aware of our program and how to apply.
I would encourage those of you that are talking to students about the APA scholarship program or considering applying to visit azpilots.org and check out the Scholarship Program page under “Pilot Info.” This page provides all program information and includes:
- ·Scholarship Program Overview – provides details related to the overall goals of the program and specific information for required documents and application process.
- ·Scholarship Application – the application link will take you directly to the online application form for completion and uploading of required documents (cover letter, transcripts, and letters of recommendation).
I also encourage any applicant that has questions on the process to reach out to us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for help. We’re happy to help and want to ensure that each application is submitted successfully before the deadline.
We’ve seen a steady increase in our program over the last several years and I expect 2023 to be no exception based on the continued growth of the aviation industry. However, none of this would be possible without your support of the program. Thank you again for helping APA continue to build the next generation of Arizona aviation professionals!
Fly safe,
Chris
