Flying Musicians Association Celebrates 15 Years

– Follow Progress of Recipients at FMAsolo.org –

Flying Musicians team with music directors and flight instructors to offer a scholarship to Learn to Fly.

Are you a high school music student? Do you want to learn to fly? Have your music director/teacher nominate you for the FMA Solo program. In cooperation with FMA’s corporate members and sponsors nationwide, this program will assist juniors and seniors in high school who have been nominated by their music director/teacher. 

“We have found that, perhaps more than any other teachers, band directors get to know their students’ dreams. With these scholarships, they can help select students achieve them.”
