<h2><strong>How Can These Scholarships Be Used?</strong></h2>
The Albuquerque Chapter 179 of the Experimental Aircraft Association presents annual scholarship awards to candidates pursuing aviation education including flight training, A&amp;P certification, etc. Applicants must be between the ages of 15 and 25 years of age and residents of New Mexico. The amount and number of grants are determined each year and contingent on available funding. Applications must be received by February 15, 2024. Recipients will be notified and awarded certificates at a chapter event in March or April.  Scholarships must be focused on their aviation endeavors and are paid directly to the school or instructor on behalf of the student recipient.

Examples of how these funds can be used are:
---- Working toward certification, including CFI fees, and aircraft rental or tuition
---- FAA testing fees
---- FAA textbooks, review guides, and such

Scholarship funds are not used for general studies and school expenses.  Chapter 179 has awarded over $70,000 over the past 10 years!  Good luck; we relish the opportunity to support you in your aviation endeavors!
