About this award

You can receive a $500.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are an apprentice insulator who needs financial support to complete your training. You must apply by June 7, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, 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 (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) 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 Insulator Apprenticeship program. To qualify, you need to show demonstrated financial need and have satisfactory academic achievement. A preference is given to Indigenous students.

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 $500 helps.
• SupportAvoid using references who don't know your school work. Instead, ask a current instructor or apprenticeship supervisor who can vouch for your academic achievement. Get their contact info ready before you start the portal.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the General Application. Instead, complete every section of the NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) General Application thoroughly. Since you are automatically considered based on that form, the more detail you provide, the better.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is guaranteed money. Instead, treat this as a helpful top-up while you look for other apprenticeship grants. Check for other industrial bursaries at NAIT to increase your total funding.
