Epic Flight Academy Announces Record-Breaking $145,000 Aviation Scholarships
Epic Flight Academy is proud to unveil its most generous scholarship program to date. A whopping $145,000 will be distributed across 17 scholarships for the 2025 academic year. This exciting announcement marks the 10th Annual Aviation Scholarship Awards. We are now accepting applications from U.S. high school juniors and seniors who are passionate about launching their careers in aviation.
“This is the largest amount we have ever allocated for the annual scholarship awards,” stated Epic founder and CEO Danny Perna. “Since we started these awards in 2016, we’ve gifted over $445,000 to 35 high school students.” These scholarships are designed to support both pilot training and aircraft mechanic training programs across Epic’s 12 nationwide campuses.
In tandem with this announcement, Epic has received FAA self-examining authority. This allows the academy to conduct in-house check rides, significantly reducing delays for students. As the largest FAA Part 141 school in the U.S., Epic now has the ability to set check ride dates internally, effectively bypassing bottlenecks caused by limited Designated Pilot Examiner availability.
Applications are due by October 1, 2025, with winners to be announced on November 10.
