Each year the Zonta International Foundation awards Amelia Earhart Fellowships to 35 outstanding women pursuing doctoral degrees in aerospace-related sciences and engineering. This year two of these recipients are studying at the University of Texas atAustin and one is at Texas A&M. These $10,000 fellowships for the 2012-13 academic year were awarded to University of Texas at Austin students Sonia Hernandez and Divya Thakur, and Texas A&M student Elizabeth Rollins.

Amelia Earhart Fellowships honor the legacy of Amelia Earhart, famous aviation pioneer in the 1920s & ‘30s, and a member of Zonta International. Earhart encouraged women to expand their horizons by exploring occupations and holding positions beyond those traditionally held by women. Zonta works to advance the status of women worldwide, through service and advocacy.
