Following on from the success of our prevous years flying scholarship awards, ACS Aviation has announced they will be running the scholarship for a seventh year in 2026, adding to the schools well-established and highly successful Flight Instructor Sponsorship scheme. The majority of UK Airlines are actively recruiting where over 16000 openings for airline and commercial pilots are projected each year, on average, over the next decade. There is no better time to commence training towards becoming a commercial airline pilot! This scholarship opportunity is supported by Bose Aviation!

The winners of the ACS Aviation scholarship will receive 8 hours of flight training in the brand new Tecnam P-Mentor aircraft, towards a Private Pilots Licence in a supervised environment within a consolidated period, 12 months membership and a Bose A30 Aviation Headset. ACS Aviation will grant scholarships with the aim of supporting individuals who might otherwise not have the necessary resources to gain flying experience and ultimately achieve their Private Pilots Licence (PPL).

ACS Aviation will award two Flying Scholarships worth over £4500 each which will cover all aspects of training up to licence issue for a candidate who is prepared to dedicate a part of the summer to training towards a Private Pilots Licence (PPL). Providing 8 hours of flying training, these scholarships can take a candidate with little or no experience to flying an aircraft solo during a consolidated period in the summer of 2026. The scholarship will allow students to progress onto a variety of professional roles within the aviation industry such as commercial airline pilot.
