I chose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT because the program provides an amazing opportunity to accomplish major milestones on the way to an aviation career.
I chose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT because I want to attend Tuskegee University after high school. I knew this program was a way that I could start my aviation career before college begins, and that it would help me carry on the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.
Being a Tuskegee NEXT cadet is a blessing, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life learning new things and finding new heights from which to soar.
“Tuskegee NEXT is the only aviation academy that I have attended that is designed to bring awareness to the black excellence displayed by the Tuskegee Airmen.”
I chose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT because of the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. They did not just fight in World War II. They fought for the opportunity for people like me to fly. In honoring their legacy, I will be the first pilot in my family.

I applied to the Tuskegee NEXT program because I saw an incredible opportunity to take a large step forward toward my ultimate goal of becoming a commercial pilot. Also, it is a great way to help continue the Tuskegee Airmen's legacy by helping increase the number of black pilots flying in the world.
I heard about Tuskegee NEXT when I visited Illinois Aviation Academy with my family. I had once met a Tuskegee Airman and was fascinated by his story. I knew it would be a great honor to take part in the Tuskegee NEXT program and that it would help me reach my future goal of becoming a pilot.
