Scholarship candidates are required to take an introductory flight with an RFACA member, where their suitability to receive formal training is assessed. The winners are subsequently selected from the top 10 per cent of scholarship applicants, each receiving $7700 to subsidise the cost of obtaining a private or commercial pilot’s licence.
