This is the fourth year of the Able Flight/Purdue program to bring people with physical disabilities into aviation and, as with the first three years, the student pilots selected to train there share a common belief that hard work and determination will overcome any physical challenges they face.

Able Flight encourages people with a variety of disabilities to apply to become an Able Flight Scholar. Applicants must be able to provide proof of disability from their attending physician, be at least 17 years of age, and be able to operate the controls of the training aircraft. Special controls will be available for Able Flight Scholars as needed.

Above all, potential scholarship candidates must be dedicated to the idea that they, too, can change their lives by learning to fly.

There are four types of scholarships, and instructions are on the forms:

Full Scholarships are designed for people who wish to earn a Sport Pilot license. Applicants must be able to provide proof of disability from their attending physician, be at least 17 years of age, a U.S. citizen, have a valid driver’s license, and be able to operate the controls of the training aircraft. Special controls will be available for Able Flight Scholars as needed.
Scholarship applications are accepted at any time and reviewed on a continuing basis. Most training now takes place during May and June of each year. Full Flight Training Scholarship Application.
