Correction - I've just had a look and the Air League isn't offering full PPL scholarships for 2026, just 3-hour, 5-hour and 12-hour scholarships, which are still well worth applying for. Additionally, as bingofuel recommends, gliding can only add to your basic stick and rudder skills and the Air League gliding scholarships are also opening for applications this December. BA's Speedbird Academy recruitment team are all strong advocates of flying scholarships and so will no doubt look favourably on those who have bothered to apply for them. Applying for scholarships is also good practice in getting used to the application process that you will need to master as you progress your career, so don't be disheartened if you fail to gain a scholarship as the practice of applying alone is worth it. Good luck!
