The purpose of the Women Soaring Pilots
Association is to encourage women to fly gliders. One way
we do this is through our scholarship program. Our scholarships
are for women only and we require that they be members of
WSPA and SSA or an equivalent type organization if they do
not live in the U.S. Applications are reviewed by a committee
of three WSPA members. They are judged primarily on realistic
goals and dedication to those goals. Click here for general scholarship info in downloadable form.
