AAUW Tweet Coleman Aviation Scholarship

Before being a trailblazing commercial airline pilot, Tweet Coleman had careers as a nurse and as a broadcaster. But she became one of the first women to make piloting an airplane her profession. Since then, she’s made her mark in the aviation industry and among her fellow pilots, making history as part of the first all-female flight crew to fly a Boeing 727.

She’s written an autobiography about her career in aviation, Take Your Life Off Autopilot: Live with Purpose, Passion, and Power, and is now a senior representative for the Federal Aviation Administration.

AAUW Honolulu is honored to have Tweet as a member, and she’s graciously endowed us with the Tweet Coleman Aviation Scholarship, offered yearly, for women seeking to earn a FAA Pilot Certificate.

Applications will open in early 2019. Check our website in December 2018 for details.

Student Eligibility:

Be a resident of the State of Hawaii.
Must be seeking an FAA Pilot Certificate.
Have a graduate or undergraduate degree.
