Royal Victorian Aero Club - Flying Scholarships

Flying Scholarships 

APPLICATIONS FOR 2008 HAVE NOW CLOSED

Applications for 2009 will be available from May 2009
The scholarships are sponsored predominantly by Mobil Aviation with support from the Foundation of the RAAF Association, Victorian Division, Royal Victorian Aero Club and the 460 Bomber Squadron Scholarship Trust.

The scholarships take the successful candidates through to the GFPT stage of the Private Pilots Licence and are valued at approximately $6,500 each.

The scholarships recognize the contribution that young Australian aircrew have made in the defence and development of Australia and the spirit, determination and values shown by these young airmen in the past.

The scholarships are an ideal way to kick start either a long term career or simply begin a recreational participation in Aviation.

Application forms must be picked up personally at either Royal Victorian Aero Club at Moorabbin Airport or Coldstream Airfield, and again must be personally delivered back to either of those sites.

Some of the previous successful candidates are now well into their flying careers and others enjoying privately the freedom that flight provides.

Scholarships are available to Australian citizens only
