The Sedona 99s are deeply grateful to EAA Chapter 952 for their generous $3,000 donation to our student pilot scholarship fund. This support will make a real difference for women pursuing flight training in our community.
Flight training is expensive. Between aircraft rental, instructor time, and related costs, the path to a private pilot certificate can feel out of reach for many capable students. A scholarship of this size can cover a meaningful number of flight hours—often the difference between a student continuing their training and having to pause or stop altogether. For members of The Ninety-Nines, it also reinforces that they have a local chapter standing behind them as they work toward their goals.
The funds will help a Sedona-area student pilot progress toward her certificate while staying connected to a community of women pilots who understand the challenges and the rewards of learning to fly. In a field where women remain underrepresented, practical support like this matters. It turns encouragement into actual time in the air.
We thank EAA Chapter 952 for investing in the next generation of pilots and for strengthening the partnership between our two aviation organizations. Their gift helps keep the dream of flight alive right here in Sedona.
