At a colourful ceremony at Kingsford Smith Aerodrome on 6th November 1937, the Australian Air League’s aims began to come to fruition, when the first six Flying Scholarships were awarded to John W.Nichols, Wallace M. Stewart, Boden G. Fife, John H. J. Brown, Cecil C. Goddard, and Robert E. Kerr.

Since those early beginning the Australian Air League has endeavoured to offer scholarships to its members through the assistance of organisations such as the RAAF Association, Sir Keith and Sir Ross Smith Fund,  gliding clubs and others.
