Just found an interesting Scholarship for Pilots or should I say those who want to become pilots and are over the age of 18.

This scholarship is being offered by NGPA – National Gay Pilots Association. Applicants must be pursuing a career as a professional pilot in order to qualify, but this Scholarship for Pilots is not limited to only American citizens.

To be able to apply for this Scholarship for Pilots, you do not have to be gay, but rather show that you have provided support to the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual & transgender (LGBT) community. This could be through volunteering for an AIDS organization or showing support of LGBT groups through participation. However, this Scholarship for Pilots will be awarded regardless of race, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or other groups protected by non-discrimination laws.
