My neighbor went down to the FBO, and asked about scholarships. To his surprise they had one. All he had to do was write an essay about why he wanted to become a pilot. He also had me write an essay telling them about how fast and good of a pilot he was, but he doesn’t have alot of money. I wrote my essay and he wrote his. He got the scholarship and to my surprise, only five people applied for the scholarship. Good Luck

Since you are so young, you should consider the Civil Air PAtrol/CAP now. You can get involved with general aviation and they also offer a flight training grant- http://level2.cap.gov/index.cfm?nodeID=5587
Additionally, you should check out joining the Aviation Explorer Scouts. It’s like the boy scouts but is open to both sexes. http://www.aviationexploring.org/

There is an organization called Pilot Finance that helps aid in the cost of flight training, you may want to check that out with your parents.
