Since 1939, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), has worked to keep general aviation fun, safe, and affordable. As part of its commitment to growing the pilot population, AOPA will award a scholarship to a WAI member pursuing a private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The recipient will be chosen based on merit, including previous accomplishments, ability to set and achieve goals, involvement in general aviation, and commitment to completing flight training. Applicants who are enrolled in high school, an accredited flight program, or an accredited college or university may apply. Applicants must also have obtained a student pilot certificate by the scholarship application deadline and provide a copy of the certificate. Applicants must be a current member of Women in Aviation International by October 1, 2024, and their membership must not expire before March 2025. Two professional letters of recommendation are required. Letters may not be from family members. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Women in Aviation International for more information.
