CWB Welding Association Indigenous Education Bursary

About this award

Get financial support for your welding or joining industry training with three annual deadlines on August 1, November 1, and February 1.

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 in Canada. For most students, the deadlines are August 1, November 1, and February 1. However, if you are applying for an apprenticeship, applications are open year-round. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check CWB Welding Foundation's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. 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.
