About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 grant. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a carpentry apprentice who has worked hard in your classes and needs extra financial support to finish your training. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the 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 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 completing the second period of the Carpenter Apprenticeship program. To qualify, you need to show demonstrated financial need and have satisfactory academic achievement. Note that you are only eligible for awards during the intake you are registered for training.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your current expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs to show why this $1,000 would help you.
• StrategyAvoid leaving your General Application incomplete. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, ensure every section is filled out accurately. Double-check that your registration intake is correctly listed.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because you are in the second period. Instead, treat this as a competitive supplement to your funding. Apply for other NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) bursaries at the same time to increase your chances.
