    • Alberta Heritage Scholarship Fund
      Starting in the fall of 2015, approximately $9 million will be available for a portfolio of financial supports to encourage more Albertans to enter and complete apprenticeship programs.  This could include new scholarships and bursaries.
      In addition, funding will also be available to enhance innovative training delivery by the post-secondary institutions.  Discussions with key stakeholders will take place in the coming months to determine specific program details.
    • Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP)/Career and Technology Studies (CTS) Scholarships

      Pre-Apprentice Scholarships encourage those completing pre-apprenticeship training programs to continue in the trades and complete their apprenticeship training. There are 11 annual scholarships of $1,000 each.
