Supporting the Next Generation of Aerospace and Defence Professionals
At SkyAlyne, we believe meaningful opportunities create lasting positive impact. As part of our commitment to Indigenous Participation in support of the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program, SkyAlyne is proud to launch the SkyAlyne Indigenous Scholarships Program to support the next generation of Indigenous leaders in aerospace, aviation, and defence.
The SkyAlyne Indigenous Scholarships program is designed to help break down barriers to higher education and support First Nations, Metis, and Inuit students pursuing careers connected to the FAcT program and the broader aerospace, aviation and defence sectors. Through financial assistance for expenses such as tuition and/or living costs, the scholarships program aims to help students focus on building the skills and experiences needed to contribute to Canada’s future aviation and defence workforce. In-line with FAcT program requirements, First Nations, Metis, or Inuit students from the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, in which the FAcT program sites are located are prioritized, however Indigenous students across Canada will be considered and are encouraged to apply.

- Identify as a First Nations, Metis, or Inuit person (with preference to those in Saskatchewan or Manitoba)
- Demonstrate financial need in support of their educational goals
- Be enrolled at a post-secondary institution
