About this award

You get $1,500. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing technical training in water, power, or engineering technology. You must apply by February 12, 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 an Indigenous student enrolled in one of these specific programs at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology): Water & Wastewater Technician, Instrumentation Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, or Power Engineering Technology.
