Jazz Aviation LP (Jazz) announced yesterday that it would be providing two scholarships for Algonquin College’s Aviation Management – General Arts and Science program, and the winners have been announced!

These scholarship opportunities came as a result of a partnership with Jazz that was first signed in 2010 and aimed to improve collaboration on training and curriculum to promote safety and professionalism, while attempting to provide relevant information on industry best practices.

These two awards were recently created to recognize Jazz’s commitment to safety and professionalism:

The Jazz Aviation Pathway Award for Professionalism. Awarded to a full-time student in his or her final year of the Aviation Management program for outstanding contributions to safety, leadership and professionalism. The Award consists of a $3000 scholarship and an opportunity to participate in the Jazz Aviation Pathways Program selection process. The award recipient is selected by the Algonquin program chair or designate in consultation with Jazz to ensure the criteria as outlined are respected.

On May 27, 2016, Jazz awarded the inaugural Aviation Pathway Award for Professionalism at Algonquin to Francis Daoust from Ottawa, ON.

Francis graduated this year from the Aviation Management – General Arts and Science program, and is ready to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

The Jazz Aviation Pathway Award for Professionalism and Diversity. Awarded to a full-time student in his or her final year of the Aviation Management program who has self-identified as Aboriginal, a person with a disability, a visible minority, or female; for outstanding contributions to safety, leadership and professionalism. The Award consists of a $3000 scholarship and an opportunity to participate in the Jazz Aviation Pathways Program selection process. The award recipient is selected by the Algonquin program chair or designate in consultation with Jazz to ensure the criteria as outlined are respected.

On May 27, 2016, Jazz awarded the inaugural Aviation Pathway Award for Professionalism and Diversity at Algonquin to Laura McAtamney from Ottawa, ON.

Laura is currently a student here in the Aviation Management – General Arts and Science program, and can’t wait to take advantage of this opportunity once she graduates.

“We thank Jazz for their support of our students through this collaboration, which provides meaningful assistance and encouragement to our students in aviation programs,” said Chris Janzen, Dean, Faculty of Technology and Trades. “Congratulations to both Francis and Laura on their outstanding success – we wish them well in their future careers.”
