Mitchell Cary/Don Gum Memorial Aviation Scholarship
Learn to Fly with NAHA! If you are between 15 and 21 years old and dream of flying, the National Aviation Heritage Alliance can get you started.
NAHA sponsors a scholarship program that will provide $1,500 worth of flying lessons towards earning a Private Pilot or Light Sport Pilot’s Certificate. That’s enough for the average person to learn to fly solo!
