Payment of scholarship monies is conditional upon receipt of supporting documentation from the attended school that the student has successfully completed the required coursework and has been licensed and received an FAA Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate from a certified FAA Part 141 school or international equivalent.

Special Notes
You’ll be flying from day one, getting hands-on experience. The FAA minimum hour requirement for a Private Pilot Certificate is 35 hours of ground training and 35 hours of flight training. Most people complete their training in 40-45 flight hours, but we can’t guarantee a specific minimum for completion—everyone learns at a different rate. If you’re aiming for a private helicopter pilot license, additional specialized training will be required to master helicopter controls and navigation.
