A major scholarship will again be offered in 2022 to anyone that aspires to a career in the aviation industry or wishes to pursue flight training leading to a pilot’s license. Offered by the Arrowhead Eagles Aviation Organization, the scholarship is made possible by funds raised through the annual Fly-In Pancake Breakfast and donations. This year’s breakfast program is scheduled for Saturday, September 18 at the Grand Marais Airport, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Scholarship applications will be first available at the airport during the breakfast program. Applicants must be 15 years or older and be enrolled within a year of acceptance of the scholarship into an aviation training program with a Certified Flight Instructor or with an accredited aviation curriculum. The scholarship is limited to Minnesota Cook County or Lake County residents. Prior applicants are encouraged to reapply. After September 18, application forms will be available at the Cook County airport, 123 Airport Road. The final deadline for submitting the application is March 1, 2022. A winner will be announced at the Arrowhead Eagles annual meeting in May.
In addition to pilot training, aviation careers include maintenance technicians, flight attendants, fixed-base operators (FBO), airline scheduler/dispatcher, aviation sales, FAA air traffic controllers, airport operations, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and aeronautical engineers.
The Arrowhead Eagles Aviation Organization is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to the value and beauty of flight in support of Cook County’s airport and aviation tradition through promotion of aviation events, airport enhancements, youth-oriented activities and opportunities, and to encourage community use and a friendly atmosphere at the airport.
