Eig-Watson School of Aviation Merit Scholarship

This scholarship is awarded annually to outstanding students seeking a career in commercial aviation. The Saul and Lois Eig-Watson Scholarship Endowment was established in 1988 through the generosity of Lois Eig Watson in memory of her husband, Saul Eig. As one of the largest aviation scholarships in the country, this scholarship program has presented more than 214 awards to outstanding students to help defray costs of any additional flight training required to achieve their next certificate or rating. To qualify for the Eig-Watson Scholarship, applicants must have completed at least 12 MDC credits, be a United States citizen, have a GPA of at least 3.0, and possess a pilot's certificate and/or have demonstrated an expressed interest in pursuing a degree in professional pilot technology.
