The 2024 Women in Aviation International (WAI) scholarship program is officially open, and members can review scholarships at
www.WAI.org/scholarships.
With over 105 scholarships valued at more than $1,000,000 total, scholarships are offered for flight training, engineering, maintenance,
dispatch, drones, and professional development for individuals in all stages of life. This 2024 scholarship cycle includes nearly 10 new scholarships to further members’ learning in flight training, space engineering, and aircraft maintenance. Applicants may apply for up to three scholarships per year.
WAI proactively works to address our industry’s challenges, and one of those priorities is investing in our current and future global workforce, shared WAI Interim CEO Stephanie Kenyon on their website. The support of our annual scholarship program is one of the major benefits of being a WAI member, and we appreciate the generosity of our scholarship sponsors.
The total amount of scholarships awarded by WAI since 1995 is now more than $16.4 million.
Many 2024 scholarships will be awarded during the 35th Annual Women in Aviation International Conference in Orlando, Florida, from March 21-23, 2024.
To qualify for a scholarship, the applicant must be a WAI member as of October 1, 2023 and applications must be submitted to WAI by 11:59p.m. EDT October 12, 2023. Read more on how to apply, scholarship tips, past winners, and frequently asked questions.
