The application deadline is July 1 of each year. You may submit a scholarship application at any time. 

Absolutely! However, be aware that relatives and friends may not serve as a reference, so be sure your references are from adults who have interacted with you as a supervisor or leader. Examples include teachers, coaches, Civil Air Patrol leaders, flight instructors, aftrer-school program supervisors, church leaders and work supervisors.

To submit the general application, click the Apply Now button on this page. Be sure to submit the supporting documents before the deadline.

A transcript is an official list of all the courses you have taken during high school and/or college.

Your reference should explain how they know you and what their relationship is to you. They also might describe how you display responsibility, leadership traits, good decision-making skills and your interest in aviation. Excellent references will help make the case why you should be chosen for a scholarship, so select someone who can say good things about you.

A transcript should include all the courses you have taken during high school and college, including your earned grades for those courses. It should also include your cumulative, unweighted grade point average (GPA), which is the average of all your grades from the courses you have taken in high school. The transcript from your school should also include the school's name (an unofficial copy is fine).

If you are awarded a scholarship, you will receive an award email sent to the email address listed on your application. Please list an email address that you check often! We will also notify the Financial Aid office of your chosen college. 

Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted. No exceptions will be made for missing the final application deadline of July 1, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Both recommendations must also be completed for your application to be considered. Be sure to give your recommenders plenty of time to complete their forms. 

Of course! There are many outstanding students who would benefit from a aviation training scholarship. Please note all applications are cleared after the scholarship recipients are selected. If still eligible, you must submit a new application and recommendations for each award cycle to ensure we are reviewing the most current information.

If you are a scholarship recipient, scholarship funds will be disbursed to the school after the verification of enrollment is submitted to The BlueJireh Foundation.
