KG Aviation Scholarship
A pilot shortage is upon us and we need new pilots replacing those retiring in the future.
Today, pilot training is very expensive and many prospective pilots must pay out of pocket to fund their aviation education. The sky's the limit for many pilots, but in order to reach their goals, they must be supported throughout their educational adventure.
To suppress the pilot shortage we are seeing today and to help budding pilots achieve their dreams, the KG Aviation Scholarship will be awarded to one student currently pursuing a Private Pilot Certificate or Commercial Pilot Certificate.
All current high school and undergraduate students are eligible to apply for this scholarship. To apply, please write an essay or submit a video about why you decided to pursue a career in aviation.
Please submit EITHER an essay or a video that answers the following questions.
(50-75 words): What current Certificates do you have? How many hours do you currently have?
(400-500 words) Why did you decide to choose a career in aviation? What do you hope to achieve in your career? Why is aviation important to you?
