About this award

You can receive a $2,500 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a trades student at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) who has reached the third period of your training and needs financial support to finish your program. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on your academic achievement and demonstrated financial need. Ask NAIT how many students usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask NAIT during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with NAIT whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be enrolled in the third period of the Electrician, Industrial Mechanic (Millwright), or Carpenter program at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). You will only be considered for this award during the period you are enrolled as a student. To qualify, you need to show satisfactory academic achievement and demonstrated financial need.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your monthly expenses and income gaps. List your specific costs for tools, books, and rent.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section regarding your finances and grades is fully updated in the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) portal.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because you are in the third period. Because it depends on financial need and grades, treat this as a supplement to your budget rather than your primary funding source.
