After the great success of the two previous editions of the Carlos Salas Scholarships, the Official College of Commercial Aviation Pilots (COPAC), the Spanish Airline Pilots Union (Sepla) and Global Training Aviation (GTA) announce the III EDITION of the Carlos Salas Scholarships for young pilots.
This initiative aims to support future pilots in their access to the profession in order to help overcome the economic barrier of its high cost and, at the same time, honor the figure of Carlos Salas (1961-2021) and his commitment and work in favor of the pilot profession.
We continue to grow and this year we expanded the number of scholarships. We went from 2 in the first edition to 10 scholarships. 4 gold scholarships and 6 silver scholarships, to finance all or part of the type rating course of the aircraft of the winners’ choice (Airbus A320, Boeing 737, ATR 72-500 or ATR 72-600) except for base training, take-offs and take-offs.
Applications will be accepted between
February 29 and April 30
GTA Madrid is conveniently located near the airport, with a range of hotels and residential apartments nearby, offering easy access and comfort for all our visitors.
It is necessary for the course. If you do not have one, GTA can provide a tablet at a reasonable price.
“After finishing my ATR500 type rating course, I would like to thank GTA, SEPLA and COPAC for granting me this valuable Carlos Salas Scholarship. This opportunity represents not only a big step in my professional development as a pilot, but also a decisive boost to reach my goals in the world of aviation. I certainly consider it the best initiative in which a pilot fresh out of flight school can participate. I greatly appreciate your confidence in my application and your commitment to the training of future pilots – thank you for making this dream possible!”

“As a proud winner of the Carlos Salas Scholarship program, I have had an amazing experience at GTA during both the selection process and the A320 Type Rating that followed. Special mention to the instructors, which were extraordinary from both the human and educational aspects. I am very grateful to all the people that are part of GTA and highly recommend aspiring pilots to participate in the Carlos Salas Scholarship program.“

“I am beyond grateful for the Carlos Salas Scholarship I have received from SEPLA, COPAC, and GTA. This incredible opportunity has allowed me to enter the world of commercial aviation through the renowned Global Training Aviation, a school known for its exceptional staff and instructors. While many A320 type rating schools exist, few can match the human quality and professionalism demonstrated by GTA. They go above and beyond to ensure not only success in the course but also the development of pilots who truly evaluate and understand every situation that arises in the cabin. I am proud to be part of such an outstanding training program.“
