Scholarship News
Since 2014, RTAG has awarded large scholarships at the annual Celebration of Aviation Banquet.
In June 2024, the RTAG Board of Directors decided to change this.
Beginning in October 2024, "Winging it Safely" flight training scholarships will be awarded by raffle at each RTAG Safety Seminar.
All paid RTAG members are eligible for a raffle ticket.
You must be present to win.
​
We hope this change will increase participation in RTAG Safety Seminars, particularly among student pilots.
The scholarship can be used for any flight training, including BFRs, IPCs, simulator time, and glider or floatplane training.
The next RTAG Safety Seminar is Wednesday, December 4th, from 5:30pm, at The Hangar at Cloud 9.​​
