The BWPA offers a number of awards and scholarships to recognise the achievements of women in aviation and support them in further flying endeavours.
Our 2025 Scholarships are now open!
Around £50,000 worth of flying scholarships, ground school courses, aviation kit and voucher awards are on offer in 2025.
Our scholarships programme
The BWPA scholarships programme recognises the dedication and passion of women in aviation and supports them in furthering their flying endeavours. BWPA scholarships offer a range of flying bursaries, airline interview prep, ground school classes and aviation equipment. The programme has seen overwhelming success in recent years. To ensure that we can continue to offer the greatest benefits to members and sponsors, whilst also recognising that the BWPA is entirely run by volunteers, the BWPA committee undertook a strategic review of the programme and we are exciting to launch a new and improved scholarships programme for 2025.
Scholarships are only available to BWPA members – make sure you have joined to be eligible to apply.
Winners are formally congratulated at our annual Christmas Lunch and Awards Ceremony in December.

Many thanks to our generous sponsors who have offered funding and support for the scholarships programme.
BWPA Awards
We have a number of awards, presented each year, that recognise excellence in a wide range of areas from navigation to photography. There are also special awards, for example acknowledging achievements in gliding, personal accomplishment or career goals. Some awards are only for BWPA members, while others are open to the wider aviation community. Learn more about our previous Award winners.
