Meet Rebekah Nelson, one of our 2026 gliding scholars. 🛩️ Funding had slowed her progress, so her scholarship provided another opportunity to keep moving forward. A dream doesn't have to stop because of a financial barrier. #HelpingDreamsTakeFlight #Gliding #WomenInAviation

Every journey starts somewhere. For our scholars, that first step might be their very first hour in the air. And it can change everything. #StartYourJourney #AviationDreams #FuturePilots #FlyingScholarship #HelpingDreamsTakeFlight
