Answer
Hi, Selma:

As far as aircraft maintenance schools, you might want to check the International Civil Aviation Organization website at www.icao.int  to find if there are regional ICAO institutes or schools for aircraft maintenance in Africa.  I thought there was one in Kenya.  Also, you might also check the Aviation Maintenance Technical Council at www.atec-amt.org  for a listing of aviation and aircraft maintenance schools in the USA and Canada.

As for scholarships in aviation, there are two good websites to check:

The University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero

and

www.avscholars.com  Which is a good website for aviation financial aid and aviation scholarships.

I wish you the very best in your pursuit of an aircraft maintenance school!
