Founded in 2009, the Women in Aerospace (WIA) Foundation, Inc., is a nonprofit, tax-exempt educational organization created with three missions:

1. Increase public awareness of the importance and benefits of the aerospace field.
2. Increase public appreciation for aerospace science and technology.
3. Inspire those who identify as female students to develop the skill sets required to innovate and assume leadership roles in the development of technology in the aerospace field.

The Foundation partly accomplishes its purpose by providing scholarships to those who identify as women who study engineering, math or science at the undergraduate level, and thereby (i) encourage women to enter careers in the aerospace field, (ii) expand women’s opportunities for leadership in aerospace, and (iii) increase women’s visibility in the aerospace community.
