About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Aboriginal student in a technical apprenticeship who needs financial support to complete your training. 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. 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 an Aboriginal student enrolled in either the Electrician apprenticeship program or the Instrumentation and Control Technician apprenticeship program at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). You must show financial need and have satisfactory academic achievement. You will only be considered for the intake that you attend NAIT.

This is what the award's official page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm on the award's official page before you apply.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear explanation of your current financial situation and how this $1,000 would help you stay in your program. List your specific monthly expenses compared to your income.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out the General Application. Instead, complete your profile in the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) awards portal early. Double-check that all your personal and program details are accurate so the system can match you to this award.
RealismAvoid assuming the General Application is enough on its own. Instead, remember that the source states you must submit an application to be considered. Log into the portal to ensure you have officially triggered the application for this specific award.
