High School Apprenticeship Scholarships

The High School Apprenticeship Scholarship program recognizes the accomplishments of Alberta high school students completing the Registered Apprenticeship Program or the Career and Technology Studies pathway.

 The goal is to encourage more students to explore trades education as a path to good-paying professional jobs that will provide financial stability and help meet future labour market demands.

Providing/updating your consent

This scholarship program is one that you don’t even have to apply to be eligible! All you need to do is consent and provide your Social Insurance Number (SIN) – it’s that easy!

Go in and double-check that all the information needed is there so you don’t miss out on potential financial support. Go to your MyTradesecrets account and click on the Applications tab to provide or update your consent and SIN. If you have more than one active application, click on Details in the right-hand column to update your information.
