About this award

You can receive $1,250.00. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in power engineering. 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, phone, or through the student portal. Selection is based on a written statement about your personal journey to post-secondary education. 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 an Indigenous-identifying student enrolled in the Power Engineering Technology program. A preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need.
