Jazz Aviation & Northern Lights Bursary for Indigenous Women

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary supporting Indigenous women studying aviation or aerospace.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Jazz Aviation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous woman pursuing a career in the skies or aircraft design. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Jazz Aviation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Jazz Aviation 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 beyond the fact that support can be renewable with demonstrated need — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Jazz Aviation what you need to maintain.
