Private Donations Fund A Limited Number Of Memberships To The Largest Organization Of Female Helicopter Pilots
The Whirly-Girls Scholarship Fund is expanding the sponsorship program to include twelve initial memberships to the organization.
These sponsorships allow women who fly helicopters to join the Whirly-Girls organization at no cost and take advantage of the many benefits of being a member, including participation in the generous scholarship program.
The Whirly-Girls Scholarship Fund Inc. was incorporated in 1974 to oversee and administer the scholarship funds raised by the Whirly-Girls and their auxiliaries. The Fund is a federally tax-exempt 501(c)3 public charity. The Scholarship Fund administers a number of separate scholarships currently valued approximately $65,000.
Whirly-Girls was formed in 1955 by Jean Ross Howard Phelan, who wanted to build a community where female helicopter pilots could share and grow. Today it has grown to include the largest source of scholarships for female helicopter pilots. Membership is open to any woman with a helicopter license. Additionally, the Whirly-Girls Auxiliary is available to those who are not eligible for regular membership. Membership affords you access to exclusive areas of the website, including job listings and networking opportunities.
