The Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide has launched an online service designed to help future female pilot prospects not only get excited about aviation, but to take action on their newfound passion. The organization, which has facilitated the introduction of more than 96,000 girls and women to aviation through flights in small aircraft, has launched a website that helps them pursue their dreams. “We have been very good at outreach but now it’s time to take the next step,” said Mireille Goyer, founder of iWOAW, at a news conference at NBAA in Las Vegas.
The site has a directory of female-friendly businesses, including flight schools, and companies can put their own listings on the website. The site also offers the ability for those who have used those companies to review them and publish their comments online. The site also has a listing of more than $1 million worth of aviation-related scholarships. It only lists those that don’t have application fees or membership requirements.
