About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as a woman and are pursuing a career as a powerline technician. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the portal. Winners are chosen based on high academic achievement. Selection criteria aren't published — ask NAIT how they measure academic success and roughly how many applicants they typically receive 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 woman-identifying student enrolled in the third period of the Powerline Technician apprenticeship program. You will only be considered for this award during the specific period you attend. Selection is based on high academic achievement.

Tips for applying

• Academic AchievementAvoid just listing your grades. Instead, highlight specific ways your high academic performance shows your dedication to the trade. Mention a specific project or module where you excelled.
• SupportAvoid submitting your application without reviewing it. Instead, ask a teacher or mentor at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) to check your General Application for clarity. Ensure your enrollment period is clearly marked.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to access the portal. Instead, log in to the NAIT awards portal early to ensure your profile is complete. This prevents technical glitches on June 7.
• RealismAvoid assuming the General Application is enough on its own. Instead, double-check the portal to ensure you have officially submitted the application for this specific scholarship. Take a screenshot of your submission confirmation.
