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 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 launched a new and improved scholarships programme for 2025.
Our 2025 scholarships are now closed. If you have applied and been shortlisted, you will be contacted in due course.
Remember that scholarships are only available to BWPA members – make sure you have joined to be eligible to apply and to be the first to hear about our next round of scholarships.
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. If you are an individual or organisation who would be interested in sponsoring one or more scholarships, please contact our Scholarships Coordinator.
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.
