In accordance with the objectives set forth in its Constitution, the Aero Club of New England has established a scholarship program to encourage and to help support careers in aviation. Member donations and the Annual Scholarship Auction are the primary sources of revenues for these scholarships. Some members have chosen to fund a scholarship for someone they would like to honor. All scholarships are awarded annually and recipients are selected on the basis of merit and need. Further information regarding establishing scholarships or applying for one may be obtained by contacting the Chairman of the Education Committee.
Scholarships are for advanced pilot training unless otherwise noted .
