Air Canada and CAE have announced the opening of applications for the eighth annual Captain Judy Cameron Scholarship, aimed at supporting women in the aviation sector. Beginning on November 1, 2026, the scholarship program is designed to assist Canadian women training as commercial pilots or aircraft maintenance engineers. This collaboration between the two Montréal-based companies, both prominent players in the global aviation industry, works alongside the Northern Lights Aero Foundation to broaden opportunities in this male-dominated field.
The Captain Judy Cameron Scholarship is named after a trailblazer in Canadian aviation and seeks to encourage more women to enter and thrive in the aviation industry. The program reflects ongoing efforts to address gender disparities within aviation and aims to create a more diverse workforce. Applications will be open for a limited period, inviting applicants from across Canada to apply for one of the eight scholarships available.
This scholarship is part of a larger movement within the aviation industry to both promote and support women's participation, aligning with broader initiatives to enhance equity and inclusion in various professional fields. By emphasizing the importance of diversity, Air Canada, CAE, and the Northern Lights Aero Foundation aim to inspire future generations of female aviators and engineers.
