The Amelia Earhart Fellowship is awarded to women of any nationality pursuing a Ph.D or doctoral degree who demonstrate a superior academic record in the field of aerospace-related sciences or aerospace-related engineering. Deadline is November 15, 2016.
Background
According to Women in Aerospace, in 2010, roughly 10 percent of the aerospace industry was made up of women. While the number has slowly increased, there must be reinforcements behind each step forward. To assist the future of women in this field and other aerospace-related sciences and engineering, Zonta International established the Amelia Earhart Fellowship in 1938 in honor of legendary pilot and Zontian, Amelia Earhart. Today, the Fellowship of $10,000 is awarded annually to 35 talented women, pursuing Ph.D. or doctoral degrees in aerospace-related sciences or aerospace-related engineering around the globe.
Eligibility
Women of any nationality pursuing a Ph.D. or doctoral degree, who demonstrate a superior academic record in the field of aerospace-related sciences or aerospace-related engineering, are eligible and encouraged to apply. For a full list of the eligibility and application requirements, please refer to the application.
Deadline: Applications for the 2017 Fellowships must be received or post-marked by 15 November 2016 to be considered. Applications that are incomplete or late due to postal delays will not be considered.
