Ray Aviation Scholarship

 

Our 2024 Ray Scholar, Kobe Kerns, continues his flight instruction at the Winchester Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. Kobe had already soloed and is working on the FAA written and beginning his cross-country training. Our 2023 Ray Scholar Grant Peterson has passed the FAA written exam and is working on his cross-country flying and preparation for the Private Pilot check ride.

The Ray Scholarship pays $11,000 toward the flight training costs of obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate. The required milestones are:

-First solo flight within three months;

-Pass the private pilot written exam within six months;

-Pass the Private Pilot check ride within one year of receiving the initial funds.

Please note the scholarship process requires an FAA medical certificate prior to being considered for the scholarship.
