From Australia Aviation: Scholarship to encourage more female pilots
The federal government has announced two RAAF-sponsored scholarships
to encourage the development of female pilots within the aviation
community.
Available through the Australian Women Pilots Association (AWPA), the
scholarships are open to female pilots between 17 and 24 years of age
who have attained their private pilot licence (A) or equivalent. Two
categories are being awarded: the AWPA Formation or Aerobatic
Endorsement (Aeroplanes) Scholarship and the AWPA PPL(A) Navigation
Component Scholarship.
This is the second year the scholarships have been launched. An AWPA
spokesperson said: “As a result of the RAAF’s support in 2012, we have
two women pilots who were thrilled to achieve their aerobatics rating.
With the RAAF’s ongoing support, AWPA looks forward to being able to
provide further opportunities for women pilots to follow their aviation
dreams.”
