Now this sounds like a great idea to me, albeit a bit of a pipe dream.
However, I actually dont think the money should be given to people as they start their training as some will not fulfill this obligation, due to lack of competency and/or application.
What if amounts were paid for completion of certain licences/ratings to scholarship hopefuls, resulting in a final sum of $15,000.
ie: GFPT $3000
PPL $5000
NVFR $2000
IFR $5000
I can think of many young people who would be interested in such a scheme.
This idea has a lot of merit.
Cheers, HH.
