Globally, women make up around 25percent of the workforce in the aerospace industry. In an effort to carry out its mission that women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men, Zonta International offers the Amelia Earhart Fellowship. The Amelia Earhart Fellowship was established in 1938 in honor of famed pilot and Zontian, Amelia Earhart. The fellowship is awarded annually to women pursuing PhD or doctoral degrees in aerospace engineering and space sciences. It may be used at any university or college offering accredited post-graduate courses and degrees in these fields. Women of any nationality who demonstrate a superior academic record conducting research applied to aerospace engineering or space sciences are eligible. It is imperative that students have completed at least one year of their PhD or doctoral program or have received a master's degree in an aerospace-applied field at the time the application is submitted. Applicants must not graduate from their PhD or doctoral program before April 2027. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
