SCHOLARSHIPS

Chapter Scholarships

The Katahdin Wings offer a fully-funded seaplane rating scholarship opportunity for its members. The Alice Love Forbes Seaplane Scholarship, established with Alice’s husband Jim, honors Alice’s passion for aviation by covering up to five full scholarships per year for aspiring seaplane pilots. The application window is yearly around February, but is sent to all section members when it becomes available.

Section Scholarships

The New England Section of the Ninety-Nines has annual scholarships for all section members. These can cover either initial ratings or advanced training. 

International Scholarships

Each year, Amelia Earhart Memorial Scholarships are usually awarded to qualified members for five scholarship types, including two specialized scholarships: an Emergency Maneuver Training Scholarship and an International Scholarship for pilots in developing countries. These scholarships can cover up to full ratings, or full initial training, and are available to all Ninety-Nines.
