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 and current aviation students seeking financial support for flight training, flight hours, certifications, ratings, testing fees, and related aviation expenses.
- Students pursuing college degrees in aeronautical science, aeronautical engineering, aviation management, aviation safety, or other aviation-related fields.
- Individuals pursuing aviation-related training or education, including pathways in maintenance, air traffic control, and other essential aviation careers.
- Applicants at all stages of their aviation journey, from those just getting started to transitioning service members, veterans, and others working toward their next chapter in aviation.
Fueling Aviation Dreams
We recognize that the path into aviation can come with significant financial barriers. Our scholarships are designed to help ease that burden for qualified individuals pursuing aviation dreams across the field, including future pilots, transitioning service members, college students, aviation maintenance professionals, engineers, air traffic controllers, safety specialists, and others working toward their next chapter in aviation.
John understood these challenges firsthand, both from pursuing his own aviation dreams and instructing others as a CFI. He worked hard as a student employee while he learned to fly, applied for scholarships and grants, and took out student loans to partially fund his own dreams, which he only continued paying on throughout his Marine career.
Our goal is to help alleviate that financial obstacle for others, with aviation scholarships ranging from $500 - $5000.
