- One lucky young pilot (aged 16-21!) to receive a fully funded National Private Pilots Course -(32 hours of instruction including materials, books etc and groundschool)
Old Sarum Flying Club a vibrant, Salisbury-based flying club located on the second oldest operational airfield in the UK, has today announced the launch of a flying bursary for young people aged between 16 and 21. The bursary has been established thanks to a generous anonymous donation. The donor has simply asked that the bursary be known as Paul’s Bursary in memory of their son.
To be considered for the bursary, applicants will need to state what special qualities they possess and why they would like to become a pilot. From a short list of applicants, 3 potential pilots will spend a day at Old Sarum where their flying aptitude will be assessed. At the end of the day one of the applicants will be offered a bursary consisting of a fully funded National Private Pilots Course.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for a young person with a passion for aviation, to become a pilot,” said David Scouller, Chief Flying Instructor at Old Sarum Flying Club. “Learning to fly requires discipline and commitment. The successful applicant will find that the skills they master whilst learning to fly, whether indeed they decide to pursue a career in aviation or not, will prove invaluable in any chosen career.”
Application forms are available on the Old Sarum website at www.oldsarumflyingclub.co.uk. The closing date for applications is 31st July 2006.
Best of luck and please spread the word as we have had no applications as yet!!!
