Who this is for

Open to Alaska residents aged 16 or older who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents pursuing a Private Pilot certificate and planning to fly in Alaska; aimed at recreational rather than career pilots. The association offers separate professional-track awards (Christian D. Bohrer and John P. Culhane) under the same program.

How to apply

  1. Read the full requirements on Alaska Airmen's Association's official page. Applying is free.
  2. Line up the slow pieces early: recommendation letters, transcripts, and any medical or student pilot certificate the provider asks for.
  3. Write the essay with numbers, not passion: name your certificate goal, your school, your hours so far, and exactly what this award covers. Build your plan so every figure in the essay is real.
