Aviation scholarships for Air Cadets

These records are for Air Cadets, or they set aside at least one award for a cadet. Cash scholarships and cadet flying courses are both listed, because the courses are how many cadets start. Squadron staff and the official form still decide. A date from last year is not the next deadline.

APPLY

How to apply

Ask your squadron which form number applies this year, and whether the unit adds its own date before the national one. Keep last year's date only as history. If the record has no deadline, there is no calendar file for it.

What to prepare

Your cadet training level, any course you have already finished, and the name of the person who can support the application. Read the official page before you fill in a form.

Keep going

Use the path tool to read these awards against your age, province, stage and Air Cadet answer. The calendar file lists upcoming deadlines only.
