EFCI Community Aviator Scholarship 2025

The Community Aviator Scholarship honors a student who exemplifies leadership, generosity, and service within the community – especially the aviation community.

ECFI established this scholarship to recognize that great pilots don’t just fly planes; they also uplift others. This award is for someone who actively contributes to their community or shows outstanding teamwork and mentorship among their peers.

Whether you volunteer at aviation events, lead a school club, help younger students, or engage in community service, this scholarship exists to reward character and impact as much as flying skill.
