Usual Deadline
December
Amount(s) Awarded
AHFA is a robust 3 week Flight Academy structured to ensure students learn everything necessary to achieve up to 15 flight hours and potentially complete their first solo flight by the conclusion of the academy.
Description
Students must complete the application online at aimhighflightacademy.com, and have parental/legal guardian signed approval (if under 18). Please follow the detailed application instructions on aimhighflightacademy.com. Additionally, students must have an endorsement from their high school principal or counselor, verifying they’re an enrolled student, their GPA, and are in good standing as well as an endorsement from a nominating organization. Lastly, applicants must have a “strong” interest in aviation and a “never-quit” attitude. Applicants must fill out basic applicant information on aimhighflightacademy.com, and attach their signed nominations to their application entry. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Scholarship Criteria
Applicants must: Be between the ages of 16 and 23; Be a full-time student in High School, College, or an enlisted member of any service enrolled in school full-time; Understand they are volunteering for a scholarship to a public flight school contracted by the United States Air Force. College applicants must be currently enrolled in AFROTC or the United States Air Force Academy to be qualified. There is no military service commitment or obligation, nor does program completion justify acceptance to military service. Applicants must be at least 16 years old by 1, June, 2022, and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale) to submit a package or be nominated. To accomplish this, applicants must include a rotation of 3 segments every day; which include flight simulator time, academic classroom time (white board and lecture lesson style), and flight time. The students will be assigned into flights and be assigned a wingman within that flight, to study and fly with throughout their time during the program. When students aren’t in structured flight time, the additional hours of the day will be filled with mentorship with their flight commanders and other staff, studying to prepare for the next day, character development, and supplemental “tips and tricks”. Tips and tricks include chair flying, Emergency Procedure practice, and how to conduct “stand ups” to name a few. (Stand ups are the daily briefs conducted by aviators to inform members about daily weather, any NOTAMs, and can include an EP and other relevant information.)
