Amelia Earhart Fellowship

The Amelia Earhart Fellowships are awarded annually to women pursuing a PhD/doctoral degree in aerospace-related sciences or aerospace-related engineering. The Fellowship of US$10,000 may be used at any university or college offering accredited postgraduate courses and degrees. The awards were established in 1938 in honour of Amelia Earhart, famed pilot and Zonta club member. The Fellowship may be used for tuition, books, fees or living expenses including room, board or travel. For domestic and foreign recipients studying in the United States, Fellowship funds used for tuition, books, fees, supplies or required equipment for the programme of study are not considered taxable income. Fellows may accept additional grants and scholarships from other sources.
