No one can deny that the cost of entering the aviation industry can be expensive. But with a little detective work, industry hopefuls can find organizations with scholarship offerings to help make up some of the shortfalls. One organization that Flying has been recommending for years is Women in Aviation International. Each year they offer a cornucopia of assistance to member pilots and industry wannabes no matter where they are along the educational ladder. Here’s another secret. Membership is open to all—not just women. I’ve been a member for decades, and the association is also a treasure-trove of professional help for pilots, mechanics, air traffic controllers, engineers and others.
