About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a carpentry apprentice who needs financial support to complete your training. 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 (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) 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 any period of the Carpentry Apprenticeship program. To qualify, you need to show demonstrated financial need and have satisfactory academic achievement. You will only be considered for the intake you attend at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology).

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your current expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs to show why this $1,000 would help.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to check your portal access. Instead, log in to the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) awards portal early to ensure your profile is complete. This prevents technical delays on June 7.
• RealismAvoid assuming the General Application is enough on its own. Instead, treat this as a targeted request for carpentry funding. Confirm with the awards office that your specific apprenticeship intake is eligible this term.
