Support Aryn's Flight Training Journey

My Story

My name is Aryn Silva and I have spent my senior year of high school doing flight training and starting college early to pursue my dreams of being a Pilot!

I had no previous connections to the aviation industry and had been paying for the training with a help from my family and a loan.

However, I am nearing the end of the training and have run out of funds to make it all the way through. If I had enough, I could graduate high school with my Private Pilot's License and get an opportunity to make an impact on the industry, taking the first big step towards my future.

This year has been a very big challenge trying to juggle three college-level high school classes, two aviation ground classes, weekly flights, work, and staying involved with the organizations I am affiliated with, which consist of the National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, Student Council, The 99's Women in Aviation Organization, and the Women in Aviation Fort Worth Chapter.

I have worked very hard towards my education and have had the privilege of gaining amazing knowledge, support, and experiences.

Although there are resources like FAFSA, Financial Aid, Scholarships and Student loans, I am very limited to obtaining those resources for this semester because I am not 18 until the end of the summer and many of the scholarships and FASFA apply to the upcoming fall semester.

That is why we need YOUR help to make it all the way through and finish paying for my flight training! We got this!!
