Question
Hi David,

I am based in Toronto, Canada. I have recently enrolled at Brampton Flying School for flying courses. My goal is to fly as a commercial pilot.

Question:
- I am 30 and thinking about switching careers. Is there a list or website of aviation scholarships offered by Associations or organizations in Canada?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Zee

Answer
Hi,

I am not specifically aware of a website of aviation scholarships offered via a Canadian source.  You might try:

University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero

Aviation Scholarships website:  www.avscholars.com  This website has some good, general, aviation-related financial aid as well as scholarship information.

Best wishes to you,
