Key Takeaways:
Sporty's Pilot Shop awarded its latest $2,500 Pilot Training+ Scholarship to Kayla Collins of Charleston, South Carolina, continuing its program launched in 2018 to support aspiring aviators.
Collins, who previously worked as a flight attendant and interior designer, is making a career change to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a major airline pilot, with the scholarship aiding her financial investment.
She is actively training at Charleston Flight School, having completed her first solo, and utilizes Sporty's online Learn to Fly Course and other resources available through her Pilot Training+ membership.
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you train, one of the constants of aviation is that flight training is expensive.
For the past five years, Sporty’s Pilot Shop of Batavia, Ohio, has offered scholarships to help fledgling aviators reach their goals. This year’s winner is Kayla Collins from Charleston, South Carolina.
