The Charles Luttman Scholarship
The Charles Luttman Scholarship is in recognition and honour of the outstanding and
unique contributions made by Charles Luttman to the Canadian Aeronautics and Space
Institute from its inception, for its first twenty years. He was the first
Secretary of the Institute, a position which draws on the British tradition of
being the "heart and soul" of the Institute itself (now the position of Executive Director).
He built the foundation of the Institute on a belief in technical achievement, a
commitment to professional ethics and an instinct for natural fellowship.
In recognition of these qualities, the Charles Luttman Scholarship is awarded annually to
a student who is following a post-secondary
degree or diploma course recognized by the Institute as a qualifying step towards
Member status in CASI. To be eligible for the Charles Luttman Scholarship, the nominee must be intending to
graduate in the calendar year
after he or she receives the Scholarship.
The course shall be related in a clear way to the "Flight" aspects of aerospace studies.
The student shall have demonstrated outstanding qualities of leadership and involvement
in any area of student affairs, and excellence in communication and organizational skills.
The Award has monetary value as determined each year by the Council.
The Elvie L. Smith Scholarship
The Elvie L. Smith Scholarship is in recognition and honour of the outstanding and unique
contributions made by Elvie L. Smith to the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute and
to Canada's aerospace industry as a whole. A long-time Fellow of the Institute, Mr. Smith
was the recipient of the McCurdy Award, the Institute's top honour in scientific and
engineering areas of activity, and of the Institute's C.D. Howe Award, for outstanding
management leadership in aeronautics. Mr. Smith, a former President and Chairman of
Pratt & Whitney Canada, provided lasting benefits to Canadian aviation through his vision,
dedication and leadership in the design, development and manufacture of gas turbine engines,
in both the technical and managerial areas.
In recognition of these contributions, the Elvie L. Smith Scholarship is awarded annually
to a student who is following a post-secondary degree or diploma course recognized by the Institute
as a qualifying step towards Member status in CASI. To be eligible for the Elvie L. Smith Scholarship, the
