Donations

For many student scholarship recipients, the cost of travelling to the WAI conference to attend the AWAM Scholarship Awards Ceremony is beyond their means. In 2023, a generous donor made it possible for us to bring 3 scholarship recipients to Long Beach to attend the entire WAI conference, and to be present at the AWAM Scholarship Awards Ceremony. It was wonderful to have been able to welcome these young women into the aviation community in such a profound and generous manner, and we have been inspired to to try and make this happen for a few more student scholarship recipients for the 2024 conference in Orlando, Florida.

AWAM seeks donations (from individuals or Corporations) towards the $18,000.00 cost of hosting this critical function in Florida at the WAI Conference. AWAM has been hosting this annual event since 2012 to facilitate peer to peer networking, informal recruiting and Scholarship awards presentations in a relaxed atmosphere serving hors d'oeuvres with a cash bar available.

Contributions made to this scholarship fund will go towards assisting the next generation of women in aviation maintenance to achieve their educational goals. As an A&P and a professor in maintenance, Mary Ann spent her career encouraging women to break boundaries in aviation fields. She was a founding board member of Women in Aviation International (WAI), and instrumental in the formation of the Association for Women in Aviation Maintenance (AWAM). She touched our lives as she did the lives of so many others, and we are proud to know that her work will continue through this scholarship fund.

Funds reserved for insuring that AWAM has appropriate funding for administrative functions such as web site hosting, telecommunication, AWAM booth convention expenses.

This scholarship category is being implemented to facilitate an annual cash educational scholarship sponsored by individual or corporate donors who would like to support the mission of AWAM - the total amount of the scholarship awarded will be determined by the aggregate of individual contributions made throughout the year. No donation amount is too small. The individual making the donation may choose whether to remain anonymous or be recognized. A receipt will be provided documenting the Tax Deductible Donation.
