Scholarships

To be eligible for a provincial scholarship, the candidate must have been an active Canadian Air Cadet for the two previous training years at the time of application. Successful applicants will be required to submit proof of enrolment at the post-secondary institution of choice for full-time studies and a completed and returned award form to receive the scholarship.

The Air Cadet League of Canada (Quebec and Ottawa Valley) offers provincial scholarships for post-secondary education. Following a generous donation from Mr. Welley Gérard Cyr in September 2024, the number of scholarships and their values will increase starting with the 2024-2025 training year. A total of 28 scholarships will be available each year. Their value in 2024-2025 will be $1,000 per bursary, and thereafter will be indexed annually to the cost of living.

A cadet may apply for several scholarships. He or she is not restricted to a single scholarship. However, he or she may receive a provincial scholarship only once during his or her participation in the Canadian Air Cadet Program.

It is important to note that, according to the agreement signed with Mr. Cyr, the Welley Gérard Cyr regional scholarship is offered only to cadets from the following squadrons:

92 St-Honoré	716 Laurentien	804 Alma
634 Jonquière	728 La Vérendrye	838 Chapais
636 Aigle Rouyn Noranda	739 Vallée du Lièvre	839 Chibougamau
657 Saguenay	766 Roberval	846 Dolbeau
682 Laurentides	799 Optimiste Chicoutimi	884 Malartic

In recognition of Welley Gérard Cyr’s generous contribution to the Air Cadet League of Canada (Quebec and Ottawa Valley) for its Northern Sector squadrons, this annual $700 bursary is offered to a deserving cadet who will be pursuing full-time post-secondary studies in the coming academic year.

A cadet may apply for several scholarships. He or she is not restricted to a single scholarship. However, he or she may receive a regional WG Cyr scholarship only once during his or her participation in the Air Cadet Program.

The QOVPC offers a $300 qualification award to any cadet in its territory who has obtained his or her glider pilot’s license in the air cadet program and completed the ten (10) flight hours required to be authorized to carry out glider familiarization flights. Completion of flight hours must be confirmed by the URSC-E.
