Australia – RMIT University has announced that six final-year student pilots from its Aviation Academy have been awarded the prestigious Leidos Aviation Scholarship. The program offers over AUD 150,000 in support and provides recipients with specialised training, real-world aviation experience, and a guaranteed employment pathway in critical aviation sectors such as Search and Rescue operations.

Half of the scholarship recipients are women, reflecting RMIT’s commitment to improving gender diversity in aviation. Students were selected from across Australia, with many expressing intentions to bring skills back to underserved or regional communities.
