Announcing the Second Annual Girls With Wings™ Scholarship!

We are pleased to announce that we will be now accepting applications for
the 2nd Annual GWW Scholarship. Applications are to be an essay with
photo stating why the applicant believes she is a role model for Girl With
Wings™, to include her motivation, inspirations and future plans. There is no
minimum or maximum length required in the essays; quality and
completeness are key. There is no need to submit financial information, but if
a factor, can be discussed in the essay. The only prerequisite is 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 is November 1st, 2008.

One scholarship winner will be notified December 1st, 2008 and be sent a
check for $500 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

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.
