Embry-Riddle Flight Society
Our Mission is to create a permanent legacy to address the financial needs of flight students and provide role models and mentors who can pave the way to success in the aviation field.
There is a pressing need for pilots. Industry consultant Oliver Wyman has projected a global gap of 34,000 pilots by 2025. We need to invest in the next generation of pilots who will carry the industry onward and upward.
The Embry-Riddle Flight Society brings together Alumni, friends and industry partners to promote the growth of the next generation of pilots. Through collective giving, members provide scholarship support to Embry-Riddle's aviation students. In addition, members are invited to serve as mentors to directly impact the next generation of pilots.
Be a part of the solution to the pilot shortage!
