About this award

You can receive a $2,000 bursary. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. There are 4 winners selected for this award. This is for you if you are training to become a professional welder or are pursuing a related skilled trade. You must apply by June 30, 2026. Applications open on March 2, 2026. When you apply, ask CWB Welding Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask CWB Welding Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. The money is paid directly to the post-secondary institution where you are registered to offset your student tuition and fees. This means the funds go to your school rather than your bank account. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with CWB Welding Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies
