Stratus Financial, a prominent financial services company specializing in funding for student pilot flight school, introduces its inaugural scholarship initiative for 2024. The $5,000 #FlytoSuccess Scholarship aims to support students aspiring to build a successful professional career in aviation.
In response to an unprecedented shortage of active pilots in the United States, Stratus Financial is taking a proactive step by introducing the #FlytoSuccess Scholarship. According to Anthony Geraci, CEO and Co-Founder of Stratus Financial, Boeing’s technical outlook predicts a need for 649,000 pilots in the commercial airline industry over the next two decades.
The application window for the Stratus Financial #FlytoSuccess Scholarship opens at 8:00 AM Pacific on Monday, January 9, 2024, and closes at 11:59 PM Pacific on Friday, June 21, 2024. The eagerly awaited winner will be announced on Friday, July 26, 2024, during EAA AirVenture OshKosh.
To be eligible for the #FlytoSuccess Scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Be a legal resident of the United States.
- Be over 17 years old.
- Be currently enrolled in a flight school with a minimum of 25 credit hours logged.
Interested students can apply by filling out an entry form at Stratus.Finance/Scholarship, which includes responses to two essay questions. Additionally, applicants must create a short-form video and share it on their social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube) using the hashtags #FlytoSuccess and #StratusFinancial. The video should express what flying to success means to them and how it aligns with their journey to becoming a pilot.
Brandon Martini, COO of Stratus Financial, emphasizes the company’s commitment to investing in the next generation of pilots and giving back to the aviation community. Obtaining a commercial pilot certificate involves a significant financial commitment, and the #FlytoSuccess Scholarship aims to encourage students to pursue their passion for aviation while alleviating some of the financial burdens associated with their journey. Stratus Financial believes in supporting aspiring pilots as they embark on their path to success in the aviation industry.
