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 a second-year apprentice in the Plumber or Steamfitter-Pipefitter Apprenticeship program who needs financial support to continue 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, phone, or through the 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 a second-year student enrolled in the Plumber Apprenticeship or Steamfitter-Pipefitter Apprenticeship program. You will only be considered for the intake you attend NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). Selection is based on your demonstrated financial need and satisfactory academic achievement.
