Girls With Wings Aviation Scholarship Information 2008

The Second Annual Girls With Wings™ Scholarship window has closed!

Thank you to the more than thirty people who applied for the 2nd Annual
GWW Scholarship. We did receive some incredible essays, which were to
include a photo, stating why the applicant believes she is a role model for Girl
With Wings™, to include her motivation, inspirations and future plans. Some
essays captured this requirement with humor, some with a sad story;
unfortunately some did not address this issue at all. Ultimately, the winning
submission will be judged on her willingness to be a superlative GWW role
model. She must show potential to continue her interaction with the GWW
organization, via the website and events, so she assists GWW in
encouraging more young girls to have an interest in aviation. If you would
like more tips on how to successfully apply for financial aid, please read
general scholarship information.

The only prerequisite was that applicants must not have yet received her
private pilot's license. Applicants agree to possibly have portions of or their
entire essays and pictures posted on the GWW website. Deadline for
submission was November 1st, 2008.

One scholarship winner will be notified December 1st, 2008 and be sent a
check for $1000 to be used toward flying lessons at the flight school of her
choice. The winner will be ultimately determined by the President of Girls With
Wings™/Very Important Pilots, LLC. The 2008 awardee agrees to have her
winning essay posted on the website and to submit at least three pictures
taking during flight training. In addition, the winner agrees to submit a final
essay summarizing how the scholarship helped her, what she learned, and
her intent to continue her work as a role model for Girls With Wings™, and
her education, flight training and otherwise, by July 1st, 2009 or return the
awarded amount. All awardee submissions are to be released for use by Girls
With Wings™ and its parent company, Very Important Pilot, LLC, at our
discretion.

Disclaimer: Applicants agree to not hold Very Important Pilots, LLC,
accountable for the outcome of using this monetary award. The selection of
a flight school for training rests solely with the awardee and the conduct and
safety of the flight training is in no way the responsibility of Very Important
