These can be used at trade schools, colleges or universities.
Scholarships applied to flight training programs can be used to cover costs such as:

The EAA also plans to give out more than 50 opportunities to take part in EAA’s Air Academy Camp, with the scholarship covering the cost of multi-day aviation camps hosted in Oshkosh.
Scholarship and Fund Stewardship Coordinator Rebecca Greskoviak said, “Over the past three years, the EAA Aviation Foundation has tripled the number of scholarships we are able to award to students.”
Greskoviak added, “We are grateful for our donors who contribute to our goal of helping more students achieve their aviation dreams.”
