Organization Has Granted $100k In Scholarships For Women Seeking Pilot Careers

Ms. Rochelle Spector, founder of the I Hart Flying Foundation, and Ms. Megan du Plessis, Associate Brand Director, Aviation, for Phillips 66, teamed up this week to announce a flight training scholarship funding partnership for women seeking a career in aviation.

The themed scholarship opportunity has been named “Fueling Flight Through Harts of Might.” “We’ve experienced now four years of unparalleled success with our themed scholarships. They benefit the very industry and partners impacted by talent shortages, gender imbalances and goals for more sustainable diversity and inclusion initiatives,” shared Ms. Spector. “Phillips 66 is no stranger to our cause. They stepped up several years back to support Hart scholars, and this time advanced their financial investment to get more women in flight. We are so grateful for their loyalty.”

Since 2017 I Hart Flying has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarship funding, supplies, equipment and training packages to seventeen women.

“There’s no greater feeling than giving back, when two forces of the industry come together to drive deeper impact for the growth of aviation,” said Lindsey Grant, Manager, Phillips 66 Aviation.

“We’re thrilled to team up with the I Hart Flying Foundation for this incredible scholarship opportunity and can’t wait to hear about all of the deserving applicants.”
