Scholarship Sponsors 2026 - British Women Pilots' Association

A huge thank you to our 2026 BWPA Scholarship programme partners

The BWPA offer scholarships to support women in the UK of all ages and backgrounds in achieving their flying dreams, underlying one of our key aims, of promoting women’s training and employment within the sector.

Working with partner organisations or individuals allows us to extend what we can offer, and so help to raise awareness and increase opportunities available.

An amazing 15 flying and ground school scholarships and a further 9 aviation kit and voucher awards are on offer in 2026!

Alongside the fantastic BWPA Flying Start and Flying High Scholarships available, we were also proud to offer further flying and product scholarships in 2025, thanks to our exceedingly generous partners:

SkyDemon

“We support the BWPA because we recognise the importance of women being properly encouraged and represented in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry, also Annabel’s brownies!

At SkyDemon our training scholarships are a big part of how we give back to our industry and encourage future growth in general aviation. It’s been a pleasure working with the BWPA to help fund their scholarships.”
