Scholarships are available for New Hampshire flight students.

Each year, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation provides scholarships to students interested in pursuing careers in aviation. For 2012, up to $12,600 will be awarded from three funds:

    Michael J. Keating Scholarship Fund
    For a New Hampshire resident who is an entering freshman or transfer student in a flight operations program.

    David G. Plasch Aviation Scholarship
    For residents of the Seacoast area (including York County, ME) who are pursuing flight training or other aviation careers. The fund has a preference for those who graduated from Portsmouth High School.

    Boardman-Polando-Goodrich-Maloney-Covich Flight Scholarship
    For New Hampshire residents pursuing aviation related studies, including, but not limited to the fields of flight operations, avionics, aerospace engineering and technology and piloting.

Students who fit the criteria of these scholarship programs are encouraged to apply for assistance. To apply, students must complete an online application to our Statewide Student Aid Program.

Students who apply to the Statewide Student Aid Program need only apply ONCE to be considered for all scholarship resources at the Foundation.

The deadline for application is April 13, 2012.
Award decisions will be made within six to eight weeks.
