Prince Edward Flying Club Bursary

The Prince Edward Flying Club (PEFC) was established in 1953 and since then has continued to welcome members and visitors alike, hosting fly-ins as well as other events throughout the year.


This annual bursary of $1,000 was created to support an individual from the Prince Edward County area (or have a strong connection to the area) pursuing studies in the aviation field (pilot, aviation mechanical engineer) at a college or university certification program.


The PEC Flying Club Bursary has officially concluded and is no longer accepting applications. We are deeply grateful to the committee members whose vision and commitment made this scholarship possible.
