For over a decade, deserving pilots have benefited from the King Schools scholarship program. The largest of these scholarships have been provided in partnership with two well-known aviation organizations: Women in Aviation International (WAI) and the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI).

Twenty-one scholarships have already been granted, most recently to the 2026 recipients Thomas Sando (NAFI) and Jodie Gawthrop (WAI).

Each scholarship award is valued at over $20,000 and consists of lifetime access to the entire King Schools course library, plus $5,000 in cash. Applicants must hold at least a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating, or an existing CFI certificate.

In conjunction with WAI, King Schools awards the Martha King Scholarship for Female Flight Instructors. The application window is open now, and the deadline for applications is Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The winner will be honored at the 2027 WAI Conference.

Applications for the NAFI/King Schools Scholarship are also now being accepted, and the deadline is Wednesday, January 6, 2027. The NAFI Scholarship winner will be honored at the 2027 SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida. For more information go to https://kingschools.com/king-schools-nafi-scholarship-information.

"Judging by the quality of our applicants every year, I believe the future of aviation is in very good hands," said John King. "We are pleased to be able to contribute something that helps these aspiring aviators reach their dreams, and every single one of our scholarship recipients is certain to make a positive difference in this community we love being a part of."

"Awarding these scholarships has been a rewarding and enjoyable experience for John, me and all King Schools employees," added Martha King. "Many of the winners have stayed in frequent contact with us, and we have visited with each other quite often. Getting to know these very motivated and achieving pilots has been a great pleasure for us."
