Scholarship

Each year, the Florida Harbor Pilots Association (FHPA) selects two minority cadets from one of the seven national maritime academies who show enthusiasm and aptitude for a possible career as a state harbor pilot.  The selected recipients will each receive a $2,500 scholarship, plus all their pre-approved travel expenses to attend a training session with a pilot association in Florida, where they will receive the scholarship, get hands-on experience, and be exposed to many aspects of a harbor pilot’s career.

The deadline to apply for the 2020 scholarship is April 30, 2020. Please find the application here.

For more information on our association’s scholarship opportunities, please contact Gretchen Winters at gretchen@floridapilots.com.
