![Scholarships & Mentorships When I first got started as a CFA, I applied and won a scholarship thru Women in Corporate Aviation. This year I was able to pay it forward by donating a Flightess mentorship/scholarship to NBAA for Corporate Flight Attendant skill training (@skyqueen_xo won!!) There are tons of resources in this business aviation community such as NBAA and @womenincorpaviation with scholarships that you can apply to any professional or educational development (not just for CFA’s either!), Women in Corporate Aviation also offers a mentorship programI highly encourage any seasoned CFA’s to sign up as Mentees in the WIC program as a way to honor the help and guidance that you were perhaps shown by someone when you too first got started. Be sure to check out the scholarships on NBAA, Women in Corporate Aviation, as well as this year’s first inaugural POC CFA Scholarship which opens this Fall.•www.nbaa.org•www.wca-intl.org/mentorship•www.poccfascholarship.com [this photo was taken right after I received the packet informing me I had won the scholarship]](https://www.flightess.com/assets/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
