The 2027 Women in Aviation International (WAI) scholarship program is officially open, and members can review dozens of scholarships at www.wai.org/scholarships. ✈️🤩

Currently, there are over 50 scholarships valued at more than $200,000 offered for flight training, engineering, maintenance, dispatch, drones, and career advancement for individuals in all stages of life. This 2027 scholarship cycle includes two Harvard Emerging Leaders professional development courses–on campus in May 2027 and online in June 2027. There are more than 10 new scholarships to further members’ learning in flight training, space engineering, aviation management, and aircraft maintenance. Applicants are encouraged to check for new scholarships often and may apply for up to three scholarships per year.

“WAI believes in shaping the future of our industry by investing in the people who will meet the needs of our growing global aviation workforce," says WAI CEO Lynda Coffman. "Our annual scholarship program is one of the most meaningful benefits of WAI membership, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity of our scholarship funders and supporters.”

The total amount of scholarships awarded by WAI since 1995 is more than $17 million.

Recipients will be awarded during the 38th Annual Women in Aviation International Conference in Savannah, Georgia, from February 25-27, 2027. To qualify for a scholarship, the applicant must be a WAI member as of August 30, 2026. Applications must be submitted to WAI by 11:59 p.m. EDT September 1, 2026, and winners will be notified by December 15, 2026. Details of each scholarship, application requirements, FAQs, plus tips for submitting a winning application can be found at www.wai.org/scholarships.

First time sitting in the pilot’s seat. It’s still a long road to first flight, but dang… this was pretty cool. ✈️

WAI - Bayou Beacons Chapter! ✈️❤️

Non-motion flight simulators.

Unlike the motion flights, the seats don't move with these simulators. But you still get the experience of flying and landing an aircraft. It's pretty fun and it's free. So come by and try these simulators for yourself. When you're finished you may want to fly an actual plane one day.
