Empower Women in Aviation

The announcement comes as Aspeq reaffirms its long-standing dedication to nurturing aspiring aviators through its continued sponsorship of the Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School programme. With the introduction of the Aspeq Scholarships, the company aims to provide tangible opportunities for professional advancement within the aviation industry.

The Aspeq Scholarships will offer one set of Private Pilot Licence (PPL) exams to one candidate and one set of Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) exams to another. The recipients of these prestigious awards will be unveiled at the highly anticipated Women in Aviation Annual Rally slated for June 2024.

In addition to the academic support, Aspeq is extending a $1,750 scholarship to alleviate the financial burden associated with attending the Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School, further demonstrating its commitment to empowering aspiring pilots.

These scholarships are exclusively available to members (of at least 2 years) of the New Zealand Association of Women in Aviation, reflecting Aspeq's dedication to championing gender diversity in the aviation sector.
