Royal Victorian Aero Club - Flying Scholarships

Flying Scholarships 

Applications for 2009 have now closed and the 2010 program will get underway during May/June 2010.
 
The scholarships are sponsored predominantly by Mobil Aviation with support from the RAAF Association Victorian Division, Royal Victorian Aero Club and the 460 Bomber Squadron Scholarship Trust.
 
Each scholarship takes the successful candidate through to the GFPT stage of the Private Pilots Licence and are valued at $6,500.
 
The scholarships recognise the contributions 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.
 
They 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 from either Royal Victorian Aero Club at Moorabbin Airport or Coldstream Airfield and again must be personally delivered back to either of those sites.
 
Many of the previous successful candidates are now well into their aviation careers and others enjoying privately the freedom that flight provides.
 
Scholarships are only available to Australian Citizens between the ages of 17 to 25.
