About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Air Canada to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. Because it is a renewable award, you may be able to receive funding for more than one year. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student with demonstrated financial need who is pursuing a career in the skies or in the business operations of a major airline. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Air Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Air Canada during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Air Canada what you need to maintain to keep this renewable award.

Who qualifies

You must be an Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You must be attending an approved post-secondary institution and show demonstrated financial need. Priority is given to those in aviation programs to become a commercial pilot or in aerospace engineering. However, you can also qualify if you are studying disciplines that pertain to Air Canada's business operations, such as finance, marketing, business management, information technology, law, or human resources.
