The Wings for Val Foundation awards scholarships through Women in Aviation International (WAI) to young women pursuing ambitious aviation careers as a way to carry on the legacy of Navy Lieutenant Valerie Cappelaere Delaney.<\/p>\n

From a highly competitive pool of applicants, we select scholars who embody\u00a0many of the same characteristics as Val and other strong, fearless women in the military aviation community. Importantly, we look for candidates with a passion for flying AND for serving others in their own communities. The funds\u00a0go directly to the winner\u2019s flight school, and we also provide travel assistance to attend the annual WAI Conference to accept the award in person and take advantage of all the conference benefits.<\/p>\n

Beyond just the funding, our scholars gain a supportive network among fellow recipients, our family foundation and other female aviators to encourage them along their journeys. They add to the collective strength of all female aviators and help inspire future generations of women in aviation and young leaders in any field.
