What you will need

• ✓ Completed General Application via the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) awards portal

About this award

You get a $500.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a male first-year student athlete who shows strong leadership, intensity, a great attitude, and unselfish play on the field or court. The deadline is February 12, 2027. Since you are automatically considered through your general application, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when they notify the winner. 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.

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just saying you are a leader. Instead, describe a specific time you helped your teammates improve or stayed positive during a tough game. Mention a concrete example of your unselfish play.
• SupportAvoid leaving your general application incomplete. Instead, ensure every section of your profile is finished so the committee has all your data. Double-check that your athlete status is clearly marked.
• StrategyAvoid waiting for a separate application form. Instead, focus your energy on making your General Application as detailed as possible. Since this is an automatic process, your profile is your only tool to win.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is guaranteed just because you are a rookie. Instead, remember that only one male first-year student athlete will receive this $500.00 award.
