Wings Over the Rockies Flight Scholarship
-
I want to congratulate C/SSgt Sayles on receiving one of the 1st, if not the 1st scholarship from the Wings Over the Rockies new James C. Ray Flight Training Scholarship. C/SSgt Sayles has earned $5000.00 towards earning her Private Pilots Solo qualification. She can then apply for an addition scholarship to earn her private pilot license. In addition she will also be eligible to wear the Solo Wings Insignia on her uniforms once she does her solo flight.
-
Middle School and High School students are eligible to apply for these scholarships. Middle school age students can only apply for the Glider flight due to age restrictions.
-
As this scholarship becomes more well known, it will likely become harder to receive. If you are interested I would recommend applying as soon as possible. If you have questions, please let a senior member know or I am sure Cadet Sayles would be happy to answer questions regarding her experience.

About the class: An integrated on line/and classroom course of instruction that will enable and qualify the attendee to take and pass the FAA (PAR) Private Pilot Written Test. This curriculum is also ideal for the person/certificated pilot who wants a comprehensive update for all the requirements that are required to demonstrate current Private Pilot knowledge requirements. This is also an extraordinary opportunity for a prospective flight student to audit the requirements to become certified as a Private Pilot.
The course curriculum will include a comprehensive online training program as well as 10 consecutive Saturday (4 hours each) classroom sessions. During each of the classroom sessions there will be in depth interactive explanations of knowledge and concepts plus progress assessment testing that will establish the student’s progress. If the participant maintains a minimum of 80% test proficiency at the completion of the course a certificate of completion will be issued to the candidate. With the certificate, the participant can take the FAA Private Pilot Written Test. This test is administered by an independent agent and requires separate payment.
