Aviation Scholarships for
Women Pilots
Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarships
The Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarship Fund, founded in 1940, is The
Ninety-Nines' premier scholarship program for deserving 99s members to
complete advanced training and education in aviation and aerospace.
For over
six decades we have provided fully paid scholarships to help women pilots
complete pilot certificates ranging Commercial to CFI and ATP; ratings such
as instrument, multi-engine, and jet type ratings; technical training such
as A & P certificate; and college education for degrees in aviation,
including Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs.
Each year, The Ninety-Nines award several Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarships to qualified members for advanced flight training or courses in specialized branches of aviation including additional pilot certificates and ratings, jet type ratings, college degrees, and technical training. Among other eligibility requirements, the applicant must be a member of The Ninety-Nines.
Applicants should refer to information and application forms on the 99s International Web site
