Learn to fly free

Learning to fly for free is challenging, but there are ways to reduce or even eliminate costs if you're willing to put in some effort. Here are a few options:

1. Scholarships and Grants

Many organizations offer scholarships for flight training:

EAA Young Eagles Flight Plan – Free introductory flights and some training support.
AOPA Flight Training Scholarships – Offers funding for student pilots.
Women in Aviation International (WAI) Scholarships – Open to women interested in aviation.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) – Various scholarship opportunities.
Local Flying Clubs & Foundations – Many regional aviation groups offer scholarships.

2. Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Cadet Program

If you’re 12-18 years old, CAP offers free or discounted flight training.
Some cadets even get scholarships for a Private Pilot License (PPL).

3. Free Introductory Flights

EAA Young Eagles (for kids 8-17) – Free flights to spark interest in aviation.
Flight Schools’ Discovery Flights – Some offer discounts or free first flights.
Local Aviation Events & Open Houses – Sometimes, free flights are offered.

4. Military or Airline Cadet Programs

Air Force, Navy, or Army ROTC – Can lead to free flight training and a career.
Airline Cadet Programs – Some airlines offer paid training for future pilots.

5. Work-Trade at a Flight School

Some schools allow students to work (cleaning, scheduling, etc.) in exchange for flight time.
Look for small flight schools or flying clubs that may offer this option.
