ELIGIBILITY
  • Applicants do not have to be British citizens.
    • Although the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators is a Livery Company of the City of London, it is an international organisation with members all over the world.
    • There are active branches in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong.
  • Applicants do not have to be UK residents.
    • However, applicants must be available for psychometric tests in London, and pilot aptitude tests and interview held at RAF Cranwell, on the dates specified in the application form.
TRAINING
  • ATPL/IR training will take place at a JAA-approved organisation selected by GAPAN.
  • To date, winners have trained in the UK, America and Spain.
I'm a member of the Guild but I'm not involved in the Scholarships scheme - I simply posted details for information.
Full details of all scholarships, and the eligibility requirements, are downloadable from the Scholarships section of the Guild website.

If anyone still has a query after following the link and carefully reading the information published, contact: www.gapan.org
