Gliding Scholarship

Gliding Scholarships are run with the British Gliding Association (BGA) and in conjunction with the Fleet Air Arm Officers Association (FAA OA.) Over a dozen BGA Instructor Scholarships are awarded each year, enabling the fast-tracking of junior, but ambitious glider pilots to their gliding instructor qualification.
Six FAA OA Scholarships are awarded annually and are open to all who demonstrate an interest in naval flying. Students usually go solo during their course. Royal Air Squadron members assist with some flying and cross-country navigation. The programme is currently on hold and is relocating to RNAS Culdrose.
