The ICAS Foundation is pleased to offer a number of scholarships to help the pilots, performers and flight instructors of the future complete the necessary training to reach their goals.

Beginning in 2010, our scholarship committees will consider all scholarship applications received during the calendar year, and make their selections in January.  This new timetable allows scholarship checks to be delivered in the very early Spring, before optimal flying weather sets in throughout most of the country.  We will be accepting applications now through December 2010, with our next scholarship selections scheduled for January 2011.
