We will be accepting applications for the 4th Annual GWW Scholarship in the
form of 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, but must
already have soloed. Applicants agreed to possibly have portions of or their
entire essays and pictures posted on the GWW website. Deadline for
submission is Midnight EST, August 31st, 2010. Please NOTE: the application
process has changed; you MUST complete the below pdf in addition to an essay.
Nearly eighty people applied for last year's GWW Scholarship and some essays
captured this requirement with humor, some with a sad story; unfortunately
some did not address this issue at all. Ultimately, the winning submission will be
judged on her willingness to be a superlative GWW role model. Last year Kam
showed potential to continue her interaction with the GWW organization, via
the website and events, so she can assist GWW in encouraging more young
girls to have an interest in aviation. If you would like more tips on how to
successfully apply for financial aid, please read general scholarship information.
At least two scholarship winners will be notified October 1st, 2010 and be sent
a $1000 check to be used toward flying lessons at the flight school of her
choice. Additional scholarship funds will be awarded in increments of $1000,
based on funds raised. The winner(s) will be ultimately determined by the Girls
With Wings, Inc., Scholarship Committee. The 2010 awardee(s) 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(s)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 June 1st, 2011 or return the
awarded amount. All awardee submissions are to be released for use by Girls
With Wings, Inc., and its partner company, Very Important Pilot, LLC, at our
discretion.

the outcome of using this monetary award. The selection of a flight school for

training is in no way the responsibility of Girls With Wings, Inc. By submitting
an application, the applicant agrees not to hold Girls With Wings, Inc., liable for
any harm or injury, personal or otherwise, that may result from the award, if
