They're Available Online
Get ready to start writing, because
the 2005 scholarship listings are now available online and in the
September issue of Aviation for Women magazine. Women in Aviation,
International has given out $3.5 million in scholarships since
1996. Last year alone nearly $500,000 was awarded to Women in
Aviation members during the organization's annual international
conference.

year's scholarships by logging onto the organization's web site.
Scholarship recipients include pilots, mechanics, engineers,
dispatchers, flight attendants, students, teachers, and even
managers involved in aviation. Awards range in value from $500 to
more than $25,000. Any member can apply. Read scholarship
descriptions carefully to make sure all requirements are met and
follow the application's directions carefully.
Deadline for most applications is December 3, 2004.

current WAI members. Membership rates are only $39.00 a year
