The Ray Aviation Scholarship Fund is a scholarship program that is supported by the Ray Foundation, managed by EAA, and administered through the EAA Chapter network. Through the generous support of the Ray Foundation, EAA will provide up to $10,000 to deserving youths for their flight training expenses, totaling $1,200,000 in scholarships annually.
Due to the critical nature of the local chapter to the success of this program, chapters interested in participating in the program must be prequalified by EAA through an application process.
The 2021 chapter application for the Ray Aviation Scholarship will open November 1, 2020.
Important: 2020 chapter WizeHive submission portal is separate from the 2019 chapter WizeHive submission portal. Returning chapters will use the same email and password to log in created for the 2019 application.
The 2019 chapter WizeHive submission portal will still be used for the submission of 2019 Ray Scholar progress reports.. To access the 2019 chapter portal, click here.
New for 2020:
- Core $1,000,000 Scholarship Fund: All EAA and divisional chapters are eligible for a $10,000 scholarship grant.
- Matching Scholarship Fund:Any chapter that successfully mentored a Ray Scholar through flight training is eligible to guarantee their slot in the program and $5,000 in funding for a 2020 scholar, if they commit to providing $5,000 in matching funds.
