About this award

You get $1,000. 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 in your second year of study who is passionate about marketing. You must apply by February 12, 2027. When you apply, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Selection is based on a written statement about your journey to post-secondary and your academic achievement in your most recent term. Ask NAIT how many students usually apply, 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 second-year Indigenous student enrolled in the Business Administration – Marketing program. You need to show satisfactory academic achievement in your most recent term. A preference will be given to students demonstrating financial need.
