Answer
Hi, Siddharth:

Thanks for your question.  I will try to assist.

There are two good sources of aviation scholarship information:

1.  This website has good aviation-related financial aid and scholarship information:  www.avscholars.com    


2.  This organization has a COLLEGIATE AVIATION SCHOLARSHIP LISTING avialable on its website or for purchase.  The web address is:  www.uaa.aero  and look for scholarships on the listing of links on the left hand side of the main page.  If you wish to order your own personal copy, call them at 334-844-2434 or email them at uaa@auburn.edu

Best wishes to you,

Sincerely,
