Epic $10,000 Aircraft Mechanic Scholarships
Offered by Epic Flight Academy
About this scholarship
Epic Flight Academy’s 2026 competition includes two $10,000 aircraft mechanic scholarships, with one available for training at New Smyrna Beach, Florida and one at the Erlanger, Kentucky campus at CVG Airport. The award is applied toward aircraft mechanic program tuition rather than unrestricted college costs. Epic uses one dedicated application for both the $10,000 and $20,000 mechanic awards, so students submit a single form and identify their campus preference. Applicants must be U.S. high school seniors and U.S. citizens or permanent residents. They need to be 18 by the time they complete the program, begin training within twelve months of the award, and use the scholarship within twenty-four months. Reliable transportation or willingness to relocate is required, and applicants younger than 18 need parental approval. A complete submission includes two adult recommendations, at least one from a school official; an aircraft-maintenance motivation essay capped at 500 words; a two-minute YouTube video; and a personal photo. Candidates must also confirm they did not apply for the separate FEAM scholarship at CVG because the awards cannot be combined. The direct form closes October 1, 2026.
