Epic Flight Academy has awarded $135,000 in aviation scholarships to 16 high school students pursuing careers in flight and maintenance.
According to Epic Flight Academy officials, the awards fund both pilot certificates and aircraft maintenance training across the school’s campuses. Recipients will begin their coursework in 2027.
“The judges were impressed with the quality of submissions, which came from 20 states,” said Phyllis Cunniffe, student and staff advocate at Epic Flight Academy. “More than 100 students applied, so the team put in a lot of work, which we appreciate.”
Among the honors, Mateo Latorre of Georgia received a $20,000 flight training scholarship dedicated in memory of Captain Judy Rice, a former ground school instructor at the academy.
