Answer
Hi,

There are two good sources for aviation scholarships that I am aware of:

University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero   They have a publication entitled COLLEGIATE AVIATION SCHOLARSHIP LISTING that is posted on their website along with aviation scholarships currently available for application.

www.avscholars.com  is a website devoted to sharing aviation financial aid and scholarship information.

Also, the United Nations Development Programme (www.undp.int) sometimes gives scholarships for aviation training.

I wish you the best in your search for funding,
