The Dream of Flight Scholarship
Women Military Aviators (WMA) seeks to preserve, for history, the important role women played in creating and supporting the American Spirit through their contributions to flight, aeronautics and space. This is an elite band of women that changed the way the world works and who put their lives on the line in defense of their country and for the love of aviation. WMA is committed to passing this legacy from one generation of women to another and has established an annual scholarship program in support of this commitment.
