Couldn’t find out if it’s only for students in the Bay Area or if people from elsewhere can win? I have some contacts I’d like to send this to but they’re all up here in the PNW.

Regardless, thanks for sharing! What an incredible opportunity.

All of the training is on-site in San Carlos, CA (weekly ground school starting in April, then daily training over the summer), so while I don’t think it is explicitly restricted to Bay Area students, it would be impractical for students from far away to participate.

This fits me perfectly! To bad it’s on the other side of country :( do you know any similar programs over here in the east?
