Scholarships and Loans for First Officer Training in India
arious government and private organizations offer scholarships for pilot training, especially for meritorious and underprivileged students. The Indira Gandhi Institute of Aeronautics and the Captain Gopi Aviation Academy are known for offering need-based or merit-based financial aid. Some state governments also offer aviation scholarships, particularly for female candidates and students from economically weaker sections. The Rajiv Gandhi Aviation Academy Scholarship and DGCA-approved school grants are some examples worth exploring. Women aspiring to become First Officers may also apply for special scholarships under initiatives like the Women in Aviation International India Chapter.
