• The WIA Foundation is glad to offer scholarships to women pursuing higher education degrees in engineering, math, or science who are interested in a future in aerospace. 
• Each year, one or more awards will be granted to a rising senior in college, with funds to be used throughout the following academic year.

The Women in Aerospace (WIA) Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit educational organisation founded in 2009, has three objectives:

• Educate the public about the value and advantages of the aerospace industry.
• Raising awareness of aerospace science and technology.
• Encourage female students to acquire the knowledge and abilities needed to lead and innovate in the field of aeronautical technology.

Awarding scholarships to female undergraduate students majoring in engineering, mathematics, or science, the Foundation partially achieves its goals by:

• Entice women to pursue professions in the aerospace industry,
• Increase female leadership opportunities in the aerospace industry
• Raise the profile of women in the aerospace industry.

• Tuition fee reduction

• An applicant for the WIA Foundation Scholarship must be a rising junior or senior pursuing a bachelor's degree in engineering, math, or science and be interested in pursuing a career in the aerospace field. 
• At the time of application, an applicant must have completed at least two and a half years of full-time college study and be currently enrolled in a recognised college or university in the United States or its territories, with plans to continue in the following academic year.

• Females of any nationality are eligible to apply. 
• Applications for the following academic year will be available in mid-December.
• Two letters of recommendation from a professor, a supervisor of summer or Co-op work experience, or a supervisor of research work. Relative recommendations will not be accepted.
• Write a 500-1000 word essay in response to the following prompt: "Imagine you're attempting to explain why aerospace is vital to someone who isn't interested in it. What would you say and how would you approach this explanation?"
