35 Amelia Earhart Global Fellowships for Women, U.S.A. (2016)

Zonta Anchorange is a chartered club of Zonta International, a global service organization of executives in business and the professions working together to advance the status of women. Today, women remain a distinct minority in science and engineering, representing approximately 10 percent of professionals in these fields.

The Amelia Earhart Fellowship program helps talented women, pursuing advanced studies in the typically male-dominated fields of aerospace-related sciences and engineering, achieve their educational goals. The Fellowship enables these women to invest in state-of-the-art computers to conduct their research, purchase expensive books and resource materials, and participate in specialized studies around the globe. Amelia Earhart Fellows have gone on to become astronauts, aerospace engineers, astronomers, professors, geologists, business owners, heads of companies, even Secretary of the US Air Force.
