Sounds awesome. Is there a Men in Flight scholarship too for men who can't afford to fund their own training? Like this guy:

Where/are you hand on your heart just as upset and emotional during/about the decades when EVERY paid-for cadet scheme was 100% restricted to males? Because if not, you should not use the D-word. At all.
Its a private fund that chooses to target their private means at a rather limited group of people (very few people in professional flight training are women). I get that technically, you may call that discrimination but in factual context, it’s not something that will set you at a mentionable disadvantage.

sdickson96 sorry, I don't know anything about the CAE assessment. Perhaps a generic search for Stage 2 CAE assessments might generate more respones than what you've received ...

If she's got the attitude and the skills she will do just fine in this career.
The problem comes when they enforce things and sometimes even good, capable female pilots are collateral victims of positive discrimination.

Only 5% of pilots are female, which I do feel is an obstacle in itself, it very much isn't considered a 'female' career. I do completely agree that there should be more available funding regardless of gender. I think the point of the scholarship is to encourage women to consider aviation, when beforehand many would have just passed it off as a 'male' job.
