WAI offers new scholarships
|
Women in Aviation International (WAI) is
offering new scholarships this year, bringing the total to 53 separate
scholarships worth more than $310,000 to be awarded at its February 2009
annual conference.
“It would be wrong to think that WAI’s
scholarships are just for college-bound members,” said WAI President
Dr. Peggy Chabrian. “Many of our scholarships are for members thinking
of a career change to aviation or to add a particular license or rating.
Age is not a factor in awarding any particular scholarship. By the way,
neither is gender. To apply for a scholarship, you need only be a WAI
member.”
Among scholarships to be offered for the
first time are:
- The Sporty’s Foundation Scholarship—Two
$5,000 scholarships for small aircraft maintenance technicians
to earn a recreational pilot certificate.
- Flo Irwin Memorial Scholarship—A
$1,000 scholarship to a junior or senior woman majoring in aviation
management with the intent to start her own aviation business after
graduation.
- O.D. Clemmer Memorial Scholarship—A
$3,000 scholarship to be used to earn a private pilot certificate.
- The Michele Marks-McCormick Memorial
Seaplane Scholarship—A $1,500 scholarship for a private pilot to
add a seaplane rating.
- WAI Connecticut Chapter Engineering
Scholarship—A $500 scholarship to pursue an engineering career in
the aerospace industry.
