6 January 2025
Apply right away if you’d like a scholarship for a full Private Pilot’s Licence. We’ve just learned that there’s only until Tuesday, 7 January 2025 for the 2025 PPL(A) scholarships from the Honourable Company of Air Pilots (HCAP).
These scholarships cover all aspects of training up to licence issue for a candidate who is prepared to dedicate a considerable part of the summer to gaining their PPL.
Providing up to 45 hours of flying training, the scholarships can take a candidate with little or no experience to completion of their flying licence during the course of the summer. Alternatively they can ‘finish off’ someone who is already partially trained.
The scholarships are awarded entirely on merit as evidenced on the completed application form and as assessed by a selection committee appointed by the Company. Candidates must be 17 or over on 1 June 2025. The course must be commenced during the summer of 2025 and completed by 26 September 2025.
