The Monterey Bay chapter of The Ninety-Nines
International Organization of Women Pilots is offering one $2000
scholarship to a local woman. It is either to be used by the
recipient to obtain her private pilot license or to obtain an
advanced rating to further her pursuit of a career in aviation.
The scholarship award for 2007 was awarded
to Michelle Ruprecht, C.F.I.
A few words from Michelle: "Multi-engine
training has been a lot of fun, and I am looking forward to teaching
multi-engine students this summer. This scholarship will be used
for the multi-engine instructor training. Thank you so much for
awarding me this scholarship. I have a goal to get an opportunity
to fly right seat in a King Air by the end of the year and without
the scholarship I would be saving for my multi-engine instructor
training all year.
Thank you to such a wonderful organization
of women pilots."
