The Air Cadet Foundation of BC (ACFBC) members recognize the financial pressures faced by students pursuing studies in aviation and aerospace and are pleased to provide over $50,000 worth of scholarships for the ensuing year. With the critical shortage of human resources faced by the aviation industry, a focus on scholarships are the main goal of the ACFBC.
Students can apply for cash awards ranging from $3,500 to $7,500. Winning any scholarship is a valuable addition to your resume, especially because the ACFBC Scholarship Committee consists of dedicated individuals and their review of applications is extremely thorough. Reference letters, transcripts and a complete application are particularly important to the Scholarship Committee; explaining why you require financial assistance is also expected. Applications are treated in the strictest of confidence.
General criteria for each scholarship are listed below, with any additional required details listed under the individual scholarships.
You must fill out the initial application form (also below) and select the category you are applying for.
