Scholarships

Scholarship awards are a major benefit of membership in Women in Aviation International. They help our members reach their goals and advance into aviation and aerospace. 

 WAI2024 scholarship applications are now open. There are over 105 scholarships available valued at more than $1 million.  Each scholarship offering is different and are 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. The deadline to apply is October 12, 2023.

Scholarships applications are only accepted through the WAI website via the new online portal.  Please note the scholarship portal is independent of our website, i.e., if you are signed into the WAI website with your membership information, you will still need to register on the application portal to apply.
