WID GLAC Scholarship

Women in Defense Greater Los Angeles Chapter (WID GLAC) proudly supports talented women pursuing careers in manufacturing, aviation, aerospace, space, defense, and national security. In addition to supporting the national WID scholarship, our chapter has established its own collegiate scholarship, dedicated to California residents and students attending California universities.

The Greater Los Angeles area is a hub for aviation, aerospace, space, and manufacturing — and WID GLAC proudly reflects the full spectrum of this industry, from nose-to-tail componentry to fuselage work. With universities offering degrees that directly support these fields, our region provides a strong pipeline of emerging talent.

To advance this mission, WID GLAC established a California-based scholarship for women pursuing degrees relevant to our representative disciplines: engineering (aviation, aerospace, mechanical, electrical), the sciences (materials, physics, mathematics, computer science), as well as national security, policy, and intelligence. The application period opens in the spring, with awards presented during our annual “Service to the Flag” celebration, held each year in the third fiscal quarter.

For more information about our scholarship, to receive an application, or to contribute a tax-deductible donation, please contact: Women in Defense -Greater Los Angeles Chapter, Scholarship Chair,  widglacscholarship@gmail.com.
