What these mean

Open now: Taking applications now. The date is the deadline; a few have none.
Opens later: This year’s application has not opened. Save it, or set a reminder on its page.
Opens later, date not posted: The sponsor has not posted this year’s date. “Around” means last year’s date, so check before you plan on it.
Closed: This year’s deadline has passed.
Bursary: An award given mainly on financial need rather than marks. You usually show your family’s income, not your grades.
Designated trade: A trade Alberta certifies through an apprenticeship, like electrician, welder or carpenter.
RAP: The Registered Apprenticeship Program: you start a paid trade apprenticeship while still in high school, earning school credits and apprenticeship hours at once.

These are only the Cold Lake awards. Many of the 261 province-wide and 138 national awards are open to you too.
