Aero Club of New England Scholarships

About this opportunity

The Aero Club of New England has awarded aviation scholarships for decades and now supports three major pathways: pilot training, aircraft maintenance, and aviation management. Its awards are regional and emphasize both merit and demonstrated need.

Who can apply

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents living in one of the six New England states. Pilot, maintenance, and management awards have distinct age, school, certificate, flight-time, financial-need, and career-intent requirements.

What the award may cover

Awards support primary, instrument, and advanced pilot training; FAA Part 147-compliant aircraft maintenance study; and aviation management education.

How to apply

Download the application for the correct category, assemble the requested proof and recommendations, and submit the complete package by the posted March deadline.

• 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.

Selection and application notes

Applications are reviewed in April, interviews are generally held in May, and recipients are announced in June. Awards must be used within the specified one-year period.

Planning tip: Use the form for the exact category—pilot, maintenance, or management—because each has a different checklist.
