The Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) partnered with the SAE Foundation Canada, Bruce Aubin and the Belfry family in 2017 to offer undergraduate scholarships in transportation and mobility engineering, and an award for university students’ outstanding aerospace design.  

Since 2022, the CAE has added three Nation-Building Scholarships. The Nation-Building Scholarships series has been established by the Canadian Academy of Engineering in recognition of the important role played by engineers in the building of our nation given the social and technical challenges created by the geographical extent of the country, its low population density and its northern climate. The Nation-Building Scholarships are funded through the generous donations of Fellows of the Academy. 

This scholarship program is sponsored by The Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), through the generous support from friends of the late William G. Belfry. Mr. Belfry was a longtime member, exemplary leader, and exceptional engineer within the SAE and its Central Ontario Section. This scholarship was established to honour his passion for life, his leadership skills, and his dedication to the service of others. Applicants will be judged on academic and leadership achievement, essay content, and their intent to pursue a career in mobility engineering. The application must include a recommendation from a previous employer and/or faculty staff member.
