Girls With Wings Set To Award Two $1,000 Scholarships

Awards Help Pay For Private Pilot's Licenses

If you know a young woman who is already involved in aviation, you might encourage them to investigate two scholarship opportunities with Girls With Wings. The nonprofit organization is currently taking applications for their 4th Annual Scholarship Program for a future Girl With Wings. The application packet requires an essay with photo stating why the applicant believes she is a role model for Girl With Wings, to include her motivation, inspirations and future plans.

Applicants must be a student pilot and have completed her first solo, but not yet received a private pilot's license.

Entries are being accepted until August 31st, 2010. At least one scholarship winner will be notified October 1st and be sent funds to be used toward flying lessons. The awardee agrees to submit updates with at least three pictures taken during flight training and a final essay summarizing how the scholarship helped her, what she learned and her intent to continue her work as a Girls With Wings role model.

Girls With Wings is a nonprofit organization that focuses its efforts on introducing young girls to their role models in aviation-related occupations. Website activities and inspirational stories of women involved in various fields of aviation will motivate girls to pursue their own skyward adventures. Fundraising for outreach activities is done through the sales of Girls With Wings merchandise designed to let everyone know "Yes, Girls Can Fly!" While some may view some of our products as just t-shirts, we believe that it is in fact a statement about the potential of girls to be intimately connected with Aviation (and other Science, Technology, Engineering and Math based fields) throughout their lives.
