The Air League’s Scholarship application forms for both powered flying and gliding are now OPEN! 🎉 The Air League, founded in 1909, is the UK’s largest provider of aviation Scholarships. Over the past decade, Scholarships and bursaries worth over £2 million have been allocated to young people across the UK. We look for individuals that have a passion for aviation and aerospace and the determination to succeed. Last year, the Air League was proud to award a total of 93 Flying and Gliding Scholarships. Data from the 2023 cohort of Scholars highlighted that 31% were female, which is far higher than the industry average of 6.5% for pilots. 49% of Scholars were under the age of 18, and 47% were aged between 18-25. Furthermore, one in three Scholars were from an ethnic or minority background and 50% of 2023 Scholars’ parents were not university educated. The Air League is proud to be supporting young people from all backgrounds to kickstart a career in aviation.

🛩️✈️ Check out this inspiring article about the Flight Academy, which not only teaches JROTC cadets from various backgrounds to spread their wings and take to the skies but also addresses a secondary national issue of diversity within the aviation industry. 🌟 Aviation has historically lacked diversity, with women comprising less than 7% of pilots and minorities making up less than 12% of the workforce. However, the Air Force Junior ROTC program, with around 90,000 cadets enrolled in high schools nationwide, is leading the way in diversity, with 58% of its student body being minorities and 40% being female. Moreover, cadets selected for the Flight Academy represent females and minorities more than three times the national averages. Discover how this inclusive program is shaping the future of aviation for all.

Today, George Chahal, Member of Parliament for Calgary Skyview, on behalf of the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced a federal investment of $3 million to help meet the growing demand for skilled aviation professionals to further support the continued growth of Alberta’s and Canada’s aerospace sector. PrairiesCan funding will enable the expansion of Mount Royal University’s aviation and flight training program, aiming to double enrollment to 80 students per year in its Aviation Diploma Program and launching a new Bachelor of Aviation Management degree program in 2024. The federal investment will help equip a new hangar and learning facility at the university’s Springbank campus, including new virtual reality technology and flight simulators needed to train a new generation of pilots and aircrew. Over the next two years, this investment is expected to result in the creation of more than 70 jobs, assist approximately 10 small- and medium-sized businesses, and train 140 students—including those currently underrepresented in the aviation industry such as women and Indigenous youth. https://lnkd.in/eBseZQqx
