Our Story

First Generation Pilots (FGP) is an organization of pilots who have little to no aviation background in their family, aiming to pursue aviation careers. Founded in 2025 by a group of college students at the University of North Dakota, FGP aims to build a community where access to advice, networks, and trusted guidance is within reach.

 

Our mission is to inspire and assist first-generation pilots in achieving their aviation goals by providing education, mentorship, scholarships, and professional development opportunities. By fostering an inclusive and supportive community, we help aspiring pilots develop the knowledge, confidence, and connections needed to move forward in their careers.
