Clayton Crawford Award - II

What you will need

• ✓ Completed NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) General Application
• ✓ Enrollment in the Welding Apprenticeship program

About this award

You get $500.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a skilled trades student focusing on high-quality welding and strong work habits. You must submit your materials by June 7, 2027. Ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you will hear back if you are selected. Winners are chosen based on your academic achievement, work habits, quality of work, and technical skills. Selection criteria aren't published in detail, so ask NAIT how many students typically receive this award 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 a first, second, or third year apprentice enrolled in the Welding Apprenticeship program.

Tips for applying

• Technical SkillsAvoid describing your skills in vague terms. Instead, give a specific example of a complex weld or project you completed successfully. List the specific techniques you have mastered.
• SupportAvoid relying only on your grades. Instead, ensure your instructor can vouch for your daily work habits and reliability. Ask your shop lead for a brief comment on your professionalism.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the general application. Instead, complete the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) General Application thoroughly, as this is the only way you are considered for the award.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because it is automatic. Instead, remember that selection depends on the quality of your work compared to other apprentices in your year.
