Royal Aeronautical Society Centennial Fund Scholarships   

The Royal Aeronautical Society Centennial Fund has offered its continued support of Junior Gliding through the award of 10 – 15 scholarships to be flown from spring 2012. This is a great opportunity for Junior Glider pilots to enhance their skill set. Previous awards have allowed junior pilots to become qualified glider pilots (the BGA Bronze Endorsement), to move towards qualification as gliding instructors and to support sport gliding achievements in soaring and basic aerobatics.

This year applications will be open to all Juniors aged 16 – 25 (although a preference will be shown towards those aged betwen 16 and 21 and to those in full time education) so whether you are working towards solo, your silver C, practicing for competitions in aerobatics or cross country, there is potential for you to be successful.

To maximise the benefit available from this funding scholarships will be awarded to individuals up to a maximum of £300. We are looking to find individuals that have passion and enthusiasm towards aviation. Applications that have direction and show a true passion for aviation will be at an advantage.

Applications are open until the end of January 2012 and awards will be made to flying accounts no later than 1st April 2012.
