About SWAPA SCHOLARSHIP FUND

SWAPA Scholarship Fund operates as the SWAPA Dependent Scholarship Fund, a 501(c)(3) subordinate program of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association; the organization's EIN (75-2831556) was confirmed against the association's public materials and nonprofit registry listings. Established in 1999, the fund provides need-based educational scholarships to full-time student dependents of deceased or disabled SWA pilots and SWAPA employees, with awards disbursed for fall and spring semesters (maximum award up to $7,000 per academic year). The fund is sustained primarily by voluntary pilot contributions (including a pilot-supported $2/month plan) and has remained active in recent years, publishing recipient stories and updated application guidelines with an ongoing annual application window (February 1–April 30) and recipient announcements in May.
