WAISG launches scholarship program to boost women in aviation

The program seeks to support 20 women over the next 10 years.

Women in Aviation International - Singapore Chapter (WAI-SG) launched its inaugural scholarship program designed to provide opportunities and resources for women keen on pursuing an aviation career.

Globally, women account for less than 20% of most aviation jobs, whilst less than 10% of licensed pilots are women, and only 6% of airline CEOs are female.

WAISG aims to support women in Singapore, who make up nearly 50% of its population, to prosper in the aviation industry.

Beyond providing tuition fees for an undergraduate degree, the scholarship program seeks to provide young women with a holistic approach to Singapore’s aviation sector through WAI-SG’s networking opportunities, events, and educational programs.

“Our goal is to support 20 women over the next 10 years through this program. We are therefore seeking partners to make this a reality by investing in the growth and sustainability of this life-changing initiative,” Lou-Ann Seet, WAI-SG vice president, said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
