Got Questions? Let’s Clear the Skies
What is the World Wide Wings Scholarship Exam?
It’s an online entrance test to assess your aptitude for our ‘Learn & Earn’ pilot program. Your score determines your program eligibility and the scholarship amount you qualify for.
Who is eligible to take this exam?
You are eligible if you are at least 17 years old and have passed ( or are appearing for ) your 10+2 / Class 12 exams with Physics and Mathematics.
What subjects are covered in the exam?
The exam tests your 10+2 level knowledge in Physics, Mathematics, and English. It also includes a pilot aptitude and psychometric section to assess situational awareness.
How much scholarship can I get?
Scholarships are awarded based on exam and interview performance. Top candidates can receive tuition aid valued at over ₹35–55 lakh.
Is the exam registration fee refundable?
The exam registration fee is non-refundable. This fee covers the administrative and online proctoring costs for conducting the standardized test.
What happens if I selected for scholarship?
After passing the online test, you will be shortlisted and invited for a personal interview with our panel. Successful candidates will then receive a provisional admission offer.
When will the results be announced?
Results are typically announced within 7-14 days after the exam date. All candidates will be notified of their status via their registered email address.
Can I retake the exam if I don't qualify?
Yes, if you don’t qualify, you are welcome to re-apply and attempt the exam again in the next cycle. We conduct the exam twice per year. ( Next Exam – July 2026 )
Does this scholarship apply to the Embry-Riddle ( ERAU ) degree?
No, payments for the ‘Learn and Earn’ program’s scholarships and internships are separate. Embry-Riddle has its own scholarship exam; you will be notified about it after you apply directly to the university.
Is the exam registration fee refundable?
Passing the exam secures your admission and scholarship from us. While it’s a vital step, the F1 Visa is granted separately by the U.S. Embassy, and we will guide you through that application process.
