EASA
BECA CARLOS SALAS

Open Term

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
