The Upwind Summer Scholarship Program has released its new 2014 scholarship application and program dates. It’s due Feb. 28 and the program aims to transform a high school student into a licensed private pilot during the summer between their junior and senior years, free of charge. In partnership with San Carlos Flight Center (SCFC), the Upwind program was created to promote piloting and general aviation, to cultivate interest in aviation as a career, and to address the nationwide pilot shortage.
The 2014 program winner will be selected in March and will begin training in April. To apply, download the application at sancarlosflight.com/sites/backup/Upwind%20Application%202014.pdf.
