Sixth Annual Awards For Canadian Women Pursuing Aviation Careers

Canadian aviation companies Air Canada and CAE announced the continuation of their collaboration with the opening of applications for the sixth annual Captain Judy Cameron Scholarships.

Awards will be presented in 2025 to up to eight Canadian young women studying to become commercial aircraft pilots or aircraft maintenance engineers. Of those eight, four recipients training to be commercial pilots will join the CAE Women in Flight program as ambassadors.

Judy Cameron, Boeing 777 Captain at Air Canada (ret), and Director, Northern Lights Aero Foundation, said, “As we go into our sixth year of the Captain Judy Cameron Scholarships, I am proud to see that past recipients are now first officers and flight instructors from across Canada. Meeting scholarship recipients at the Northern Lights Aero Foundation gala each year is the highlight of the evening for me.”

“These young women are the future of aviation. They have not only shown determination and excellence in their training, but they have also encouraged other women by mentoring and volunteering. Thanks to Air Canada and to CAE for supporting them in their journey,” she continued.

The Captain Judy Cameron Scholarships were established in honor of Air Canada’s first female pilot to help foster the next generation of those following in her footsteps. They are presented in collaboration with the Northern Lights Foundation.
