Zonta International Amelia Earhart Fellowships for Women in Science & Engineering – 2022
Women make up around a quarter of the workforce in the aerospace industry worldwide. Zonta International presents the Amelia Earhart Fellowship in order to carry out its purpose of ensuring that women have equal access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions with men.
