Who this is for

Open to Florida residents pursuing careers in business aviation across four categories: incoming college students and current students at Florida-based FAA or AABI-accredited aviation programs, young professionals (40 and under) seeking additional certifications or type ratings, and experienced professionals pursuing continued career development.

How to apply

  1. Read the full requirements on Central Florida Business Aviation 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.
