About this award

Deadlines fall on August 1, November 1 and February 1 for an annual bursary supporting Indigenous women in aviation or aerospace programs.

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 and need financial help to cover your education costs. 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, phone, or through a portal. 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, though the source notes 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 to keep the funding.

Who qualifies

You must be a female Indigenous student with any Indigenous affiliation. You need to be attending a post-secondary institution or a Transport Canada (the federal agency that regulates aviation safety) Approved Flight Training Program. Your program of study must be in Aviation or Aerospace. This award is open to any level of study, but preference is given to students entering their first year of study. You must also show demonstrated financial need.
