The Sugarloaf Chapter of the Ninety-Nines International Organization of Women Pilots is pleased to announce our two recipients of the Sugarloaf99s Biennial Scholarship.
Our primary recipient is Sugarloaf Chapter member, Olivia Fuller. Oliva will pursue her Glider pilot certificate with the funds awarded to her. Olivia stated in her application that “Glider flying develops superior stick-and-rudder skills, sharpens weather-reading abilities, and builds a deep understanding of aerodynamics and energy management. These lessons are directly transferable to powered flight and will strengthen my abilities”.
Our secondary recipient is Keystone Chapter member Eva Thierry. Eva is pursuing her Private Pilot certificate and is a dedicated 99s volunteer at the chapter, section and international level . She told us that her “aviation goal is to earn my Private Pilot license, then continue to earn my Instrument Rating and become a Ground Instructor”.
Congratulations ladies and we look forward to receiving updates on your progress.
