Women make up approximately 25 percent of those active in the space and aviation industry in the world. To support that women in the field have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions in the same way as men, Zonta International offers the Amelia Eathart Fellowship at the doctoral level.
The scholarship was established in 1938 in memory of noted pilot and Zonta member Amelia Eathart.
Who can apply
The scholarship can be applied for by you who are studying at doctoral level with very good academic results and who are conducting research that can be applied to aviation or space science at an accredited university or college.
You must be enrolled in a full-time doctoral program and have completed the first year of the program or obtained a master's degree in an aviation or space-related field at the time of application.
When the scholarship is paid, you must still be enrolled in the doctoral program and you will be examined in April 2026 at the earliest.
Scholarship amount
$10,000 is awarded to up to 30 fellows per year.
