Commercial Airline Pilot Training (CAPT) Program announced it recently awarded their annual Women in Aviation scholarship to Yuko Hasegawa of Oklahoma City, OK. The award was given during the 19th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference in San Diego, CA, which wrapped up this past weekend.

"As anyone taking flight training knows, the cost of fees and books and materials expenses is daunting," said Hasegawa, in appreciation of the award. "The scholarship I received from the Women in Aviation-Commercial Airline Pilot Training is essential in helping me achieve my goals."

The CAPT-Women in Aviation Scholarship includes a commercial/multi-engine/instrument review course (academics and flight) in a crew concept environment with the student culminating 24 hours in a transport category-type Flight Training Device. Upon successful completion of the course, the recipient will be eligible for employment through CAPT's partnering airlines. The scholarship is valued at $22,495.

"This scholarship will provide Yuko with a 10 week course of training that will focus on bringing a student’s skill set up to the standards required by today’s rigorous airline training schedule," said Payne. "As the Chief Flight Instructor it is an honor to recognize a peer in the aviation industry and to be able to support her in reaching her goals."
