Answer
Hi,

Thank you for your question, I will try to assist.

With regard to aviation scholarships, there are several sources for these:

1.  The school or university to which you are applying for admission should have some funding available;

2.  Consult this website for more information on aviation scholarships:

www.uaa.aero   This is the website of the University Aviation Association and there is a link on the left hand side of the main web page that takes you to scholarships; and,

3.  Consult this website:  www.avscholars.com  for more information on aviation-related financial aid and scholarships.

I hope that this information is of assistance to you.

Sincerely,
