CWB Welding Association Indigenous Education Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a national bursary supporting Indigenous students in welding and joining programs across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact CWB Welding Foundation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in the welding and joining industry. Depending on your program, you have different timelines. For post-secondary courses, the deadlines are August 1, November 1, and February 1. If you are in an apprenticeship, applications are open year-round. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask CWB Welding Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CWB Welding Foundation 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 CWB Welding Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
