Discover Soaring Scholarship
Scholarship Description
The SSA’s Discover Soaring Scholarship is a grassroots effort to get young people acquainted with soaring. It is named after the first “utility” training glider in production, built for “air-minded youth” of the 1930s. Winners of scholarships and several smaller prizes are selected each year from young non-pilot applicants who visit a USA gliderport and make a good case for their desire to learn to fly, financial need, and promise in other aspects of life.
Eligibility Requirements
1. Must be between the ages of 13-22.
2. Must a non-pilot interested in learning how to fly gliders.
