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.
Welley Gérard Cyr provincial 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.
