Scholarships are also open to past cadets entering their first year in post-secondary education who aged out of cadets because they reached 19 between April 2nd  of the previous year and April 1st of the current year. 

Scholarships are awarded based on scholastic achievement, combined with outstanding performance as an Air Cadet, community involvement, and donor’s requirements.

Some scholarships are offered to all cadets while some are restricted to cadets that will be studying in a specific field (e.g. Engineering, Science, Vocational, Aviation, Aerospace, and others). Other scholarships are offered to cadets who meet other requirements, as stipulated by the donors. 

The NACSAC reserves the right to withhold the award of any of the scholarships where the academic standing of candidates is not sufficiently high or in the case of a program of study change where program was a requirement for the award.
