Arrowhead Eagles Open 2025 Scholarship Process

Arrowhead Eagles Aviation Organi­zation at the Cook County airport now accepts applications for aviation-relat­ed scholarships. The organization will award the scholarships at its annual meeting on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The application deadline is April 18. To ap­ply, please pick up the forms and instruc­tions at the airport or Cook County High School, complete them, and return them to the designated drop-off point before the deadline.

Up to two $2,500 scholarships, includ­ing training materials, may be awarded. Applicants must be 15 years or older. Within a year of being awarded the schol­arship, recipients must be enrolled in an aviation training program with a Certi­fied Flight Instructor or other accredited aviation curriculum. Scholarships are limited to Cook and Lake County resi­dents. Applicants from previous years are encouraged to apply again.

The scholarships are for anyone who dreams of an aviation career, whether it’s flight training for a pilot’s license, ad­vanced ratings, or other exciting careers. In addition to pilot training, aviation ca­reers include maintenance technicians, airport management, airline scheduler/ dispatcher, aviation sales, FAA air traf­fic controllers, airport operations, Un­manned Aircraft Systems (drones) pilots and technicians, and aeronautical engi­neers. The sky’s the limit!

Arrowhead Eagles Aviation Organi­zation is a community of individuals interested in supporting local aviation, aircraft owners, and pilots. It aims to build on Cook County’s colorful aviation tradition by promoting aviation events, airport enhancements, youth-oriented activities and opportunities, communi­ty use, and a friendly atmosphere at the Grand Marais/Cook County airport.

This is the seventh year Arrowhead has offered a scholarship, which is made possible by funds raised through the an­nual Eagles Fly-In/Drive-in Breakfast and private donations.

For additional scholarship informa­tion, contact Mike Raymond, President, at 218-370-0373 or Rodney Roy, Vice President, at 218-387-3024.
