Air Force JROTC cadets at North Allegheny have the opportunity to acquire an Air Force-sponsored scholarship to attend an accredited aviation university participating in a private pilot license training program during summertime. The Flight Academy Scholarship Program is an Air Force-level initiative in collaboration with the commercial aviation industry to address the national civilian and military pilot shortage. Those who participate in the program do not incur a military commitment to the Air Force or other branch of service, nor does completing the program guarantee acceptance into one of the military’s commissioning programs. Cadets who are selected for this scholarship program are more competitive for college-level ROTC scholarships and, in general, aviation- and science-based collegiate programs.

"Offered at more than 1,100 colleges and universities across the country, Air Force ROTC develops the leaders of tomorrow by preparing students to become officers in the U.S. Air Force while earning a college degree. In AFROTC, you’ll not only build lifelong friendships, but you may also have the opportunity to pay for school through our scholarship programs. Most importantly, unlike many other college students, you’ll have a rewarding career waiting for you after graduation."
