About this award

You get $1,000.00. This is a bursary, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are starting your training in the trades and need financial help to cover your costs. 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 (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) 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 first-year or first-period student entering one of these specific programs: Ironworker, Sheet Metal Worker, Machinist, Welder, or Industrial Mechanic (Millwright). This award is granted based on demonstrated financial need.
