Susan Liebeler Milestone Awards for Female Student Pilots Flying, Living or Working out of Ventura County
The Ventura County Ninety-Nines are pleased to offer up to (2) Student Pilot Milestone Awards up to $5,000 each. These awards are available to motivated female student pilots over the age of 17 who are living/working in Ventura Country or training at any Ventura County airport (CMA, OXR, SZP or NTD). The applicant must have least 5 flight hours within the last ninety days (2 hours may be in an Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) or Flight Training Device (FTD) appropriate to the rating sought with CFI logbook entry). The awards are not based on financial need. The student must be able to have the financial means to complete her training without the scholarship. Financial distributions are awarded incrementally as the student completes various “milestones” of her training. Payments of the scholarship are applied directly to the student pilot’s flight school account.
Applications are made available at local flight schools in Ventura County, and on this website.
Deadlines each year are November 15 and May 15. Applications are currently being accepted May 1 - 15, 2024.
