Geda Condit (BS 77) and Phil Condit, retired President and CEO of Boeing, generously established Geda and Phil Condit Endowed Graduate Fellowship in Aeronautics & Astronautics.
This Fellowship provides financial aid to graduate students in the Department and prioritizes students with ties to Jordan or the US as citizens or permanent residents, supporting them in completing their studies, especially during their final dissertation year. The fellowship aims to foster leadership and excellence among the recipient graduate students.
Geda Condit was born in Jordan and moved to the United States at age 15. Upon graduation from UW A&A, she accepted a position at The Boeing Company, working on a number of programs including the 777, New Large Airplane, and Composites Joint Venture with China. Upon retirement, Geda and her husband Phil started this Fellowship in recognition of her heritage and their joint passion for aviation and education. The department is honored to partner with the Condits on this collaborative endeavor.
