NGPA: The Most Generous Aviation Scholarships

 

Plane & Pilot Magazine reported recently:

On June 1, the National Gay Pilots Association (NGPA) announced the commencement of the most generous scholarship cycle in its history. The NGPA is offering over $500,000 in scholarship funds to its membership this year, honoring its 25-year anniversary milestone in supporting the global lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other (LGBTQ+) members of the aviation community. 

Miriam Williams, chair of the NGPA Scholarship Committee, encouraged aspiring aviation professionals to send in applications. “If you aspire to work as an aviation professional, please apply,” she said in a statement. “Our scholarship program is one of the most substantive means NGPA can give back to its membership and meet the ‘build and support’ portions of our mission.” She explained:

“The scholarship program means a great deal personally because it is a way for me to plant something good for the future.”

Also according to the release, the NGPA continues its collaboration with the United Airlines AVIATE Academy (UAA) this year. More than $325,000 of the scholarship funds will be extended to students participating in the UAA through NGPA’s partnership with United Airlines. 

Aspiring aviation professionals within the LGBTQ+ community are encouraged to take advantage of this incredible opportunity.

Apply between June and July 31, 2023
