What is the Fly Right Scholarship?

Our annual Fly Right Scholarship is dedicated to supporting 2024 Johnston County, NC and Polk County, FL public high school graduates in pursuing their aviation dreams. 

 

The scholarship recognizes two individuals with outstanding personal ethics, character, and a commitment to positive community contributions, as nominated by teachers and peers. The top two applicants, one from Johnston County, NC and one from Polk County, FL, will be awarded the $100,000 scholarship for use at Blue Line Aviation, while additional recipients will receive substantial tuition reductions for the Career Pilot Program. 

 

Eligible candidates must obtain a 1st class FAA Medical, be proficient in English, and be 18 years old by 7/1/2023. Factors such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, nationality, and socioeconomic status will not be considered.
