Wings™, to include her motivation, inspirations and future plans. There is no
minimum or maximum length required in the essays; quality and

FAQs:
Q: "The only prerequisite is that applicants must not have yet received her
private pilot's license." Does this rule apply to the submission of the
application or application date (Nov. 1)? Specifically, may I still be considered
if I apply for the scholarship now and receive my license in October?

A: Yes, given the time frame of the application process, we understand (and
hope) that applicants will be continuing their flight training. This should not
dissuade you from applying.
