Help Student Musicians Realize Their Dreams of Flying

Flying Musicians team with music directors and flight instructors to offer a scholarship to Learn to Fly.

Are you a high school music student? Do you want to learn to fly? Get your music director to nominate you for the FMA Solo Scholarship. In cooperation with FMA’s corporate members and sponsors nationwide, this program will fund scholarships to juniors and seniors in high school who have been nominated by their music director. 

“We have found that, perhaps more than any other teachers, band directors get to know their students’ dreams. With these scholarships, they can help select students achieve them.”


The process is simple. An aviation-enthusiastic junior or senior who is a high school band member is screened and then partnered, through FMA, with a local flight school in our network. These flight schools specialize in training beginning pilots and have joined the FMA Bandwagon.
