About this award

You can receive a $1,250.00 grant. As a grant, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a trade in industrial mechanics or instrumentation and control. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the portal. Winners are chosen based on a written statement about your personal journey to post-secondary education. Selection criteria aren't published otherwise — ask NAIT 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 an Indigenous-identifying student enrolled in either the Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) or Instrumentation and Control Technician apprenticeship programs. A preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need.
