How do I apply for a STEM Flight?
Welcome! We are so glad you are here.
​
Before you commit to applying for a STEM Flight, note that you are required to communicate with your volunteer Pilot Mentor promptly after he/she is assigned. Volunteer Pilot Mentors donate their personal time and the expenses to take you flying, thank you for respecting their effort. If we do not have a pilot in your city, we will keep you on our wait list until one becomes available. Sometimes this can take a few weeks or months depending on your location and available pilots in your area.
STEM Flights is FREE for students, the only thing we ask in return is to complete a short survey on an annual basis about your experience. Your responses help shape the aviation industry and future aerospace workforce of our country! By signing up for a STEM Flight, you are agreeing to complete the initial survey within 5 days of your flight and then annually thereafter until you graduate from high school.
