The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Women’s Giving Circle brings together accomplished women in the fields of aviation, aerospace and beyond, who demonstrate their leadership through their endeavors and their philanthropy.
Member contributions are pooled together to provide scholarship support to Embry-Riddle’s female students. Members have the unique opportunity to mentor current Embry-Riddle female students through the Women’s Giving Circle mentorship program.
Our Mission
To create a permanent legacy to address the financial needs of female students and provide young women with role models and mentors who can pave the way to success in the fields of aerospace, aviation, and beyond.
Membership
Women’s Giving Circle membership is open to Embry-Riddle alumni and friends of the university. We ask members to contribute $100/month with a 3-year commitment for a total of $3,600. Membership contributions fund the Women’s Giving Circle endowment, which provides need-based, term scholarships that directly impact academic opportunity, retention, and industry representation for female students.
Mentorship and Networking Opportunities
Members are invited to serve as mentors to directly impact the next generation of female leaders in aerospace, aviation, and beyond. We will host in-person and virtual networking events for students and members throughout the year.
