About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student or apprentice pursuing a career in heavy equipment repair and need 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 will hear back — whether it is through email, a phone call, or the student 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 enrolled in the Heavy Equipment Technician program. Selection is based on your demonstrated financial need and satisfactory academic achievement. If you are an apprentice, you will only be considered for the specific intake during which you attend NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology).
