The Aero Club Foundation of Washington is a 501 (c) (3) organization, based in Washington D.C. It offers a $5,000 scholarship program to provide financial assistance to students in the greater District of Columbia metropolitan area who demonstrate a passion for aviation with the intent to pursue an education and career in aviation or aerospace and have a financial need for scholarship assistance.
Eligible high school students from the District of Columbia; Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax counties in Virginia; and Prince George’s and Montgomery counties in Maryland are encouraged to apply. Scholarship funds may be used to pay for tuition and fees at an accredited college or university for studies in an aviation/aerospace-focused program, technical school (e.g., enrolled in a course of study in the pursuit of an FAA mechanics certificate or other comparable certificated aviation or aerospace position), or for flight training.
