Our chapter was shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of long-time member Maria D’Amato in November 2022, following a very sudden illness. In honor of her aviation accomplishments, and for her many contributions to our chapter, our annual scholarship has been renamed in her honor. With that, we are honored to now offer the Maria D’Amato Memorial Advanced Rating Scholarship. We hope to help keep Maria’s spirit alive by helping women pilots further their aviation dreams, just as Maria did.
Donations to this scholarship can be made via the Donate tab on our site, using the PayPal link. Please mention in the comments section of your donation that you want the donation applied to Maria’s scholarship.
The application for this scholarship will be available on the Scholarship tab of our site by March 1, 2023.
