Question
sir,i need a scholarship site that i can register for my career purpose in aviation industry.

Answer
HI, Musa:

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

First of all, there are four ways to pursue a scholarship that I am aware of:

1.  From the aviation school that you plan to attend.  There is a good list of aviation colleges and universities at the University Aviation Association Website at www.uaa.aero  Go to the link called "Schools and Colleges" and click on the school of your choice.  Many of the schools have their own aviation scholarships.  

2.  You can also go to the same website, www.uaa.aero, and view a listing of over $1.0 million in aviation scholarships available.  Just click on the "Scholarships" link on the main website of www.uaa.aero

3.  Your own government in Nigeria might have scholarships via the Ministry of Transportation of the Nigeian Civil Aviation Authority.  They sometimes sponsor students to study aviation subjects abroad, with the agreement to return to Nigeria to work.  www.ncaa.gov.ng

4.  Sometimes, the United Nations Development Programme at www.undp.org  has scholarships available via their website, offered to students in specific nations.  Check their website to see what might be available.

I hope that these suggestions will give you some leads for potential funding.

Best wishes,
