2026 Scholarship Opportunities | Airline Dispatchers Federation

Are you interested in earning an FAA Aircraft Dispatcher Certificate? This year, we have five dispatch schools each offering one full tuition scholarship via ADF. The application window is targeted to open on June 1. You may apply for one school, or for as many as you like. These scholarships cover tuition only and recipients should be prepared to dedicate time and focus to the course, to ensure success in passing the course and the exams required to earn an FAA Aircraft Dispatcher Certificate. Each program requires at least 2 weeks (most require 4-5 weeks) of in-person study, which will require travel/lodging/food at the student’s expense (if not local to the school’s area). ADF membership is required to apply. More details and applications coming soon. The application window will close on July 15, 2026.
