Scholarship in Aviation
A proposal to found an Amy Johnson scholarship in aviation has been put forward in England and an appeal to this end has been sponsored by such prominent men and women as Colonel the Rt. Hon. Lord Sempill, Sir Malcolm Campbell, Miss Caroline Haslett (president of tho Women’s Engineering Society, of which Amy Johnson was president for three years), Miss Pauline Gower (Commandant, Women’s Section, Air Transport Auxiliary). It is proposed to invest all the money contributed Tor the memorial in war bonds during the war. The conditions which will obtain after the war can only be conjectured, but the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators of tlie British Empire has agreed to act as technical adviser on the administration of the scholarship, and will assist in the selection of candidates. The scholarship will bo the first provision ever made .for women to attain professional standard in aviation, except at their own expense.
