About this award

$2,500.00 is available for this award. As a prize, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student in the Surveying & Geospatial Engineering Technology program who excels in your technical coursework. The deadline to apply is February 12, 2027. Since you are automatically considered based on your general application, you will hear back from NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) through their awards portal or email once the winners are determined. You do not need to apply separately. NAIT chooses the winner based on who achieves the highest average mark in the required courses. 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.

Tips for applying

• Academic PerformanceAvoid focusing only on your overall GPA. Instead, prioritize getting the best possible grades in SURV2301, SURV2347, and SURV2451 since these specific marks determine the winner. Check your current averages in these three classes regularly.
• SupportAvoid leaving your general application incomplete. Instead, ensure every section of your NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) general application is finished and updated. Double-check that your contact information is current in the portal.
• StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate application form to open. Instead, remember that your entry is handled automatically through the general system. Focus your energy on your coursework rather than searching for a specific prize form.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed bursary. Instead, recognize that this is a competitive prize awarded to the single student with the highest average. Treat this as a bonus reward for academic excellence rather than a primary funding source.
