DR. LILY FENN YOUTH FLYING SCHOLARSHIP

Dr. Lily Fenn Education Foundation Limited offers a Youth Flying Scholarship (“YFS”) known as “Dr. Lily Fenn Youth Flying Scholarship” each year for flight training up to the level of Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) at Tayside Aviation Limited (www.taysideaviation.co.uk ) in Dundee, Scotland, U.K. The Youth Flying Scholarship is capped at £15,000.00 per scholarship.

A YFS will be awarded each year to provide assistance to a worthy final year university undergraduate or fresh graduate with a view to become an airline pilot or otherwise join the aviation industry in his/her career. “Fresh graduate” is defined as a candidate who acquired a University Bachelor Degree within 36 months immediately preceding the date of application.

Final year undergraduates or fresh graduates from any faculty are welcome to apply for the Youth Flying Scholarship, but they have to be Hong Kong residents and be subject to a selection process through interviews by a Selection Committee and a Flight Grading Aptitude Test on a light aircraft in Hong Kong. Selection criteria include the candidates’ financial need, academic merit, community services, ability and aptitude to be an air pilot.
