The aim of our scholarships programme is to assist the successful individual, who might otherwise not have the necessary resources, to achieve their Licence.
The scholarships cover all aspects of training up to issue of a PPL.
They provide up to 45 hours flying and can take a candidate with little or no experience to obtaining a PPL during the course of the summer. Alternatively, they can "finish off" someone who is already partially trained.
The scholarships are awarded entirely on merit as evidenced on the completed application form and as assessed by a selection committee appointed by the Guild.
PPL Scholarships
The criteria for successful applications include:
- ability to demonstrate a serious ambition and ability to pursue an aviation related career
- availability to undertake and complete the Scholarship during summer 2013
- educational achievements, demonstrable knowledge and/or experience in science, mathematics or other aviation related subjects
- ability to satisfy the relevant medical standard to enable issue of a Class 2 Medical Certificate issued in the UK in accordance with Part-Med and any relevant pre-course entry requirements
- age at least 17 on 1st June 2013
The Guild will expect training to be carried out at a Flying School approved by the Guild, commencing during June 2013 and to be completed by no later than the 4th October 2013.
Candidates should be aware that this demands a high level of commitment during the summer months and the Guild will expect the recipient to meet this commitment.
Awards are made by a Selection Committee appointed by the Guild.
Candidates who are short-listed for a scholarship are required to attend an interview at the Guild Office in London on either the 29th or 30th April. (Alternative dates cannot be arranged.)
The interview process includes short tests to help ascertain aptitude and ability.
