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.

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

- Confirm how funds are paid and when they must be used.

- 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.
