Who this is for

Open to Massachusetts residents or students attending a Massachusetts training institution who are enrolled in an FAA-approved flight school pursuing a Commercial, ATP, or Flight Instructor certificate, with a minimum 3.2 GPA. The association also funds some non-pilot aviation tracks. No membership or application fee is required.

How to apply

  1. Read the full requirements on Massachusetts 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.
