Drone scholarships are undertaken with our partner Eagle Eye Innovations at:

Building B, West Central, Runcorn Rd, Lincoln LN6 3QP

Drone scholarships will take place over one day in week commencing 25 August 2025. We will also be offering a second course, subject to application numbers. 

In addition to your drone scholarship, full board accommodation for one night prior to the scholarship is included. You will also be invited to our Scholarships Awards Ceremony.

Our scholarships are open to all that meet the legal requirements listed above.

Our vision is to change lives through aviation and believe there should be no educational, financial, or social barriers for those who want to succeed.

We want to make aviation accessible to all. Regardless of your background we will support you if you have the determination, drive and passion to succeed.

Regardless of any disability you can apply for a scholarship. The purpose of our scholarships is to create a foundation for a young person’s career pathway into aviation and aerospace.

You will be asked to provide additional details so that reasonable adjustments or further assistance can be provided as part of the selection process and the delivery of a scholarship.

We will endeavour to deliver scholarships to those with any disability, however if CAA regulations indicate flight training may not be delivered, we will attempt to provide an alternative scholarship through our other programmes and opportunities.

Unfortunately, The Air League is unable to help with travel costs.  

Early July 2025

Although this will be disappointing, we do not want you to give up. Scholarships applications far outnumber the opportunities available.

Regardless of the outcome we encourage you to get involved, volunteer, and attend the Air League’s annual programme of events that aim to help you develop as a professional within aviation and aerospace.
