I Hart Flying Foundation celebrates five-ear anniversary
She established the I Hart Flying Foundation in 2017 and at EAA AirVenture in July, she announced that in celebration of IHFF’s five-year anniversary, it would award the organization’s largest scholarship to four women, totaling $30,000.
IHFF has awarded more than $120,000 in scholarship funding, training packages, pilot supplies, and flight training equipment to 21 scholars since 2017. Each award is between $2,500 to $5,000 of a flight training scholarship. Scholars also receive various in-kind donations from partners adding more than $3,000 in value. The I Hart Flying team also provides active mentorship and counsel to recipients, aiding them along their aviation careers to include military, commercial, business, air medical, humanitarian, and cargo operations.
“While our scholarships are fully based on merit and it’s an intensive application process, it is well worth it in the end for our scholarship recipients,” Spector says.
The nonprofit organization partners with Immaculate Flight, Paragon Aviation Group, AEG Fuels, and Dassault Falcon Jet. In-kind donations have been contributed by King Schools, Bose Aviation, AOPA, ATP, Airbus, and Phillips 66.
