Part Time Pilot provides scholarships for Student Pilots! We give out 4 scholarships a year. One in the winter, spring, summer and fall. And in the spring. Read more below or scroll down to view lists of more scholarship opportunities from around the US.

We give out a $1000 scholarship 3 times a year funded by none other than Part Time Pilot. Once in the summer, once in the fall and once in the winter. And now, each spring, we are going to donate $1000 to a crowd-sourced Go-Fund me fund to try and make the biggest student pilot scholarship in the United States!
Unlike the yearly crowd-source scholarship the $1000 scholarships are only available to any student pilot that has ever enrolled in our Online Ground School IF they simply fill out the short application available to them inside their membership.
The scholarship is not given on a specific schedule. When the scholarship fund reaches $1000 we then select a winner within a couple weeks and give it out as a scholarship. Use the top of this page to know how full the scholarship fund is and when to expect the next scholarship.
We do! For every student that signs up for our Online Ground School we donate $20 to the scholarship fund. This is just another way Part Time Pilot is trying to change the pilot training community by showing up for you, the student. We also use donations from our GoFundMe to fill the fund when those donations come in from our awesome, generous supporters.
The application is available on student’s membership page inside their Online Ground School memberships. The application is rather short. There are basic questions like name, age and city. There area few long form questions where we give you a chance to explain why you need the scholarship, what got you into flying and more. There are also a few fun questions about your favorite TV shows, music and hobbies.
“HUGE MAHALO NUI LOA to Nick for gracing me as Part Time Pilot’s first ever scholarship recipient! Planes have wings and so do angels, but Nick has the greatest wings of em all! For taking us all under his wings, helping us develop our own, and ensuring we all soar! Flying has always been a dream of mine since childhood but never once did I think it was every tangible. However, when COVID grounded all my plans and aspirations last year, I decided to go all in on chasing the very thing that makes me truly happy; flying. With having just completed my solo, currently working on cross-country, and my checkride creeping around the corner, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. I even contemplated selling my car and motorcycle simply to keep this dream alive. Being able to afford flight school is easily the biggest hurdle for any student and thus I am grateful for the support. Additionally, I now feel that much more inclined to make Nick and all of those who contributed to this scholarship proud. A commonly known Hawaiian prover is “kulia i ka nu’u” , which translates to “strive for the highest” and that is exactly when I intend to do.”
