Despite the continuing progress that women are making in the workforce, many fields are still predominantly male.
Aviation is one of these fields, with women making up just 5.3% of aircraft pilots and flight engineers. In order to create a more equal world where women are able to pursue any field without feeling alone, it’s critical that female students are supported.
This scholarship aims to support women who are pursuing their education in aviation.
Any female high school or undergraduate student who has volunteer or community service experience and is pursuing the aviation field may apply if they’re working towards a four-year degree in aviation, aviation mechanics, aviation medicine, aviation science, aviation engineering, or aviation business.
To apply, tell us about an experience that led you to pursue a degree in aviation or a related field. Additionally, tell us what becoming a woman in aviation would mean to you and how you plan to support female students pursuing careers in aviation in the future.
Two winners will receive $1,000 each and one runner-up will receive $500.
Please share a life experience that led to you pursuing a degree in aviation. What would becoming a woman in the aviation field mean to you? How do you plan to support female students pursuing aviation degrees in the future?
The application deadline is Oct 1, 2022. Winners will be announced on Oct 31, 2022.

The winner will be publicly announced on Oct 31, 2022. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
