Become a pilot
If you are interested in becoming a part of the Veteran Air Warriors project, review the program requirements and fill out the application.
Program Requirements
- Honorably discharged or expected to be honorably discharged
- At least 21 years of age
- Eligible for the GI Bill
- Hold a high school diploma or GED
- Eligible for a 1st class medical certificate
- Commit to pursuing a career as an airline pilot
- Sign program authorization and commitment paperwork
- Able to pursue flight training on a close to full-time basis
- U.S. citizen or eligible to work in the U.S.
- Encouraged: Many employers within the aviation community require pilots to hold a two-year degree (minimum) or four-year degree (preferred) with a 2.5 or higher GPA from an accredited college/ university or AABI-accredited aviation program. This is not a requirement for completion of the VAW program, although we do highly recommend it. If the veteran desires, VAW can help find local colleges or online schools to earn their degree.
Please fill out the short form to apply to be considered for the Veteran Air Warriors Program. All fields are required.
