Question
I would love any information on scholarship to do dispatch course.
Also scholarship to get instrument rating in helicopter.
Any information on women's flying group would be great.
Thank you so much for giving to other women.  I hope I can be in a position to do the same soon.

Answer
Linda,

I just sent a response to your previous scholarship post. As far as womens organizations, I suggest checking out the Ninety Nines, Women In Aviation International and the Whirly Girls.

www.ninety-nines.org
www.wiai.org
www.whirlygirls.org

Most of the awards I list on my site come from these organizations as they fund the majority of flight scholarships for women. Let me know if you need something different.

PS-
Of all the groups, WIAI may have a dispatch award. Check out their site for this years awards. They just came out.
