The Margaret Hoffman PWC Scholarship
Scholarship Description
This scholarship is for women in the FAA who are active air traffic controllers – not staff, supervision or management. It is dedicated to Margaret Hoffman (1918-2006), a controller from 1943-1981 in Nashville, TN, and the other women controllers who went before us. Margaret was a Charter Member of PWC; she dedicated her life to her career, her family and was a role model for all of us in this field. We owe her and the other women a huge debt of gratitude for opening the doors for all of us. This scholarship can be used for any course of study, either to advance an ATC career or prepare the recipient for a second career. Recipient must be a member of PWC.
