Who can apply
Worth knowing
This is the single most useful application in the Peace Country and almost nobody outside Grande Prairie has heard of it. The foundation publishes a roster of 56 named funds, and one universal form puts you in front of every one you qualify for, so an hour of work is spread across dozens of chances. In 2025 it paid over $60,860 across 100 awards to students from 20 communities, and the money followed them to 20 institutions including two outside Canada. The window ran April 16 to August 9 in 2026, so these dates are that cycle rolled forward.
About this scholarship
One application to the Northwestern Alberta Foundation is considered for over forty student award funds covering sports, nursing, environmental studies, emergency services, trades, agriculture, fine arts, animal health, education, business, technology, music, tourism and hospitality. Recipients come from Grande Prairie, Peace River, High Level and other communities across the region, and awards follow students to institutions inside and outside Alberta. Decisions are sent in mid-September.
