About this award
You get a $500 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a first-year student in the Cabinetmaker Apprenticeship program at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) who shows leadership and integrity through your community work and how you participate in class. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. NAIT's official page says how this award is decided (see Who qualifies). Ask NAIT how many students usually qualify, 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-year student in the Cabinetmaker Apprenticeship program at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). You will only be considered while you are enrolled as a student. Selection is based on your academic achievement, leadership, and integrity, which you can show through your community involvement and how you act in the classroom.
