In 1938, Zonta established the Amelia Earhart Fellowships Program, to commemorate a groundbreaking aviator. Amelia Earhart, member of Zonta Club Boston, was the first woman to fly solo over the Pacific Ocean.
Few women were active in aeronautics, science or engineering at the time – no qualified applicants were even found in the first two years the Fellowship was offered.
Yet Zontians did not doubt the success of such a scholarship program and faithfully supported it, instituting it as a loan to women pursuing graduate education in the aerospace field.
In 1952, the Amelia Earhart Fellowship (by that time an award rather than a loan) became Zonta’s first continuing international service programme.

The Award will be presented to Nina at the District 29 Conference in Münster, and she is invited to speak to the audience.
