Capt. Sax Aviation Scholarships

To honor the legacy of Capt. John J. Sax, USMC, our foundation provides scholarships to individuals pursuing their dreams in aviation, supporting the aspirations of current and future aviators, as well as those studying or training in related fields.

These scholarships are available to:

  • Future or current aviators requiring financial aid for licenses, flight hours, certifications, ratings, and more.
  • Students pursuing college degrees in aeronautical science, aeronautical engineering, or other aviation-related fields.
  • Individuals engaged in other aviation-related educational endeavors.

Fueling Aviation Dreams

We recognize that the costs of college tuition, licensing, certifications, ratings, and flight hours can create significant financial barriers for those pursuing careers in aviation. Our scholarships are designed to ease that burden, providing financial support to qualified individuals with a passion for aviation, whether as pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, or other key roles in the field.

Capt. John Sax understood these challenges firsthand, partially funded his own flight training and education through a combination of student loans, scholarships, grants, and working as a student employee. With a Capt. Sax scholarship, recipients can focus on their education and aspirations—free from the weight of overwhelming tuition costs—just as John once did while pursuing his own dreams.
