Alfred Moses Memorial Scholarship (Housing NWT Scholarships)

About this award

Get $1,000 for your post-secondary studies in a housing-related field if you are a resident of the Northwest Territories — apply by May 31, 2026.

You can receive a $1,000 scholarship for your studies. There are a total of 12 scholarships available annually, with two awarded in Yellowknife and two in each Housing NWT (the government agency managing territorial housing) district. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a resident of the Northwest Territories who is passionate about finding positive solutions to housing issues and is pursuing a field of study related to housing. You must apply by May 31, 2026. When you apply, ask the Yellowknife Community Foundation (the local organization that partners with the government to manage these awards) how and when you will be notified of the results. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Housing NWT (Government of the Northwest Territories) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Housing NWT (Government of the Northwest Territories) 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 Housing NWT (Government of the Northwest Territories) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
