AOPA Scholarship Applications Are LIVE!
Here at Aviator Zone Academy, we work hard to provide the best flight education at competitive rates. Knowing how many are struggling this year and having struggled to pay for flight school ourselves, we're delighted to share that the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) has begun their Scholarship Applications!
This is a unique opportunity for both students just starting and pilots looking to learn more.
