About this opportunity

EAA Air Academy camperships make immersive youth aviation education more accessible. Multiple donor funds help accepted teenagers attend multi-day Oshkosh programs that combine technical instruction, flight experiences, materials, and residential lodging.

Who can apply

Students must first be accepted into an EAA Air Academy camp. Camperships are limited to eligible Air Academy participants ages 14 to 18; individual donor funds may apply additional criteria.

What the award may cover

Camperships may cover EAA Air Academy tuition, including instruction, materials, flight experiences, and on-site lodging. Travel to and from Oshkosh is not covered.

How to apply

Apply to the appropriate EAA Air Academy camp first. Accepted students receive email instructions and a private link for the campership application.

  • 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 against individual donor-fund criteria and the student's potential to remain actively engaged in aviation.

Planning tip: Camp acceptance comes before financial-aid consideration, so apply to Air Academy early and plan separately for transportation costs.
