About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 grant for your studies. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a second period student currently enrolled in the Carpenter Apprenticeship program at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). 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 second period student enrolled in the Carpenter Apprenticeship program. You will only be considered for the intake you attend NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). Selection is based on your demonstrated financial need and satisfactory academic achievement.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your monthly expenses and income. List your specific gaps in funding to show why this $1,000 helps.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out accurately before the June 7, 2027 deadline.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because you are in the program. Because it depends on financial need and grades, treat this as a supplement rather than your primary funding source.
