Getchell Foundation Private Pilot License (PPL) Scholarships

The Aerospace Museum of California is proud to partner with the Getchell Foundation to open doors to aviation through the Private Pilot License (PPL) Scholarship Program.

These scholarships remove financial barriers and provide aspiring aviators with the funding, mentorship, and real-world training needed to earn their pilot license. More than support, they create a clear pathway into aviation careers.

Since 2024, the Getchell Foundation has helped launch multiple students on their flight journey, turning passion into opportunity and potential into progress.

We are also grateful to the Si Robin Foundation for their partnership in expanding this impact.

Together, we are not just funding flight training.
We are creating access.
We are fueling futures.
We are helping dreams take flight.

The Getchell Foundation PPL Scholarship Program provides life-changing access to aviation by funding training, mentorship, and career pathways for future pilots.
