Aviation Scholarship Founded by “ The Age ” Application Now Open Fostering Flying Interest The “Wairarapa Age,” in conjunction with the Wairarapa and Euahine Aero Club, has founded a Scholarship to be known as "The Age” Aviation Scholarship, hoping by this means to foster an increased local interest in flying. The Scholarship will be open to anyone over the age of seventeen years, and there will be no discrimination between the sexes. Hie Scholarship will entitle the winner to a full year’s membership of the Aero Club, and free instruction and solo flying until the candidate has qualified for the A Pilot’s license. Applications will be received from now until August 31. There are no restrictions with regard to education, but any applicant under the age of 21 must obtain his or her parents’ consent before beginning instruction, and every applicant must be a British subject by birth or by naturalisation. All applicants will be required to pay £l/1/entrance fee, which will entitle them to a half-year’s membership of the chib. Instruction will begin with a ten minutes' talk on the ground, and then each applicant in turn will be taken up in an aeroplane by Flying-Officer J. Buekeridge. For a part of the time the candidate will be given control of the ’plane, and marks will be awarded for such things as comprehension of control, for straight flying, for turning, for touch in the manner of control, and for general aptitude and intelligence. The best six will be given a further half-hour’s flying, and from those six the winner of the Scholarship will be chosen and will become a member of the club for the year without further cost. Similar scholarships have been founded in Melbourne, where there were 300 applicants, in Brisbane, where there were 155, in Wellington, where there were 105. A second scholarship in Wellington has already attracted nearly 100 entrants. Women have been by no means backward in contesting for the honours, and in the Wellington scholarship competition a woman was the winner. SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION.
