Daedalian Flying Training is a four-way partnership of the Daedalian Foundation, participating flights, FAA-certified flight schools and selected candidates. Sponsored by the Daedalian Foundation and participating Daedalian flights across the country, successful applicants will receive ground and flight training necessary to achieve a solo flight in a general aviation fixed-wing aircraft. The Daedalian Foundation shares the cost of training with the flight for up to three students per year with funds from the Tex Hill and Les Leavoy DFT Scholarship accounts. Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria: be a U.S. citizen, fluent in English, completing the sophomore year of high school or enrolled in an accredited college program, demonstrate the desire and be physically qualified to become a military aviator to serve in the armed forces of the United States.
