About this award

You can receive a $1,000 grant. As a grant, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Aboriginal student pursuing a career in court reporting or transcription. You must apply by February 12, 2027. When you apply, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the portal. Selection is based on your written statement about your personal journey to post-secondary and your academic standing. Ask NAIT how many students usually apply, 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 the Court Transcription or Captioning and Court Reporting program at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). You need to have satisfactory academic standing. A preference will be given to students in financial need.
