About this opportunity

Aerium's statewide scholarship program helps Pennsylvania students move from aviation interest to post-secondary education and training. It supports both graduating seniors and undergraduates across flight, maintenance, drones, engineering, and related aerospace pathways.

Who can apply

Applicants must be at least 16 by the deadline, be Pennsylvania residents, and either be high-school students graduating before September 1, 2026 or post-secondary aviation students who have not earned a bachelor's degree.

What the award may cover

Awards may support accredited aviation-related certificate or degree programs or flight training at an eligible Pennsylvania Part 61 or Part 141 school and must be used for aviation or aerospace career advancement.

How to apply

Complete Aerium's online application with residency, academic, experience, aviation-interest, and supporting information during the annual fall and winter window.

  • Verify the current deadline and every eligibility requirement.
  • Confirm how funds are paid and when they must be used.
  • Prepare transcripts, certificates, logbook totals, references, and essays early.
  • Save the confirmation and a complete copy of your submission.

Applications are evaluated holistically for academics, experiences, aviation-community commitment, career intent, and the quality of the submitted materials.

Planning tip: Confirm Pennsylvania residency and that the exact school, degree, certificate, or flight-training expense fits the published permitted-use rules.
