I do hope none exist. It's not like there aren't already enough hand-outs to the indigenous population that the rest of us have to fund and for what reason? The same opportunities are open to all Australian citizens, so why should we target particular people for special treatment?

If a flying scholarship exists then make it available to all, irrespective of gender or skin colour and award it to the most deserving candidate.

Airservices Australia, Mobil, the Royal Victorian Aero Club et al have all provided flying scholarships in the past. Why not examine those possibilities, rather than singling out certain groups in society for special treatment, where the competition is not so fierce i.e. it's a foregone conclusion.
