The Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Scholarships provide more than 340 annual Scholarships of $1,000 each.
The scholarships are designed
to recognize the excellence of Alberta apprentices in a trade, and trainees
in a designated
occupation, and to encourage recipients to complete their apprenticeship or
occupational training programs.
This Scholarship Program is cosponsored by the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board, Private Industry and Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education.
