Awards, scholarships and bursaries are essential within post-secondary education. As fees increase
across Canada, we want to ensure financial need is not a barrier to the success of our students.
There are several different opportunities to contribute, please review the options below.
Types of Awards
A) Named Awards
- Named annual awards start at $1,500/year x 10-year pledge or
- Named endowed awards start at $25,000
B) Named all-inclusive entrance awards. An investment of $30,000/year or a $600,000
endowment will cover school costs for one student’s year of study including tuition, books,
housing and living allowance.
C) NWP Pooled Awards. There is no minimum donation required to support one of
NWP’s three pooled awards. All donations, regardless of size, have a positive impact on
student success. Donors who contribute $10.00 or more receive a charitable tax receipt, annual
recognition, and a thank you from an award recipient. The contribution to a pooled award can be made
in memory, or as a tribute to someone special.
The three pooled awards at NWP are:
NWP President's Scholarships
NWP applications from the most recent graduating class of Alberta High School Students that are
received by August 1st of each year qualify to be considered for one of the NWP 50th anniversary
awards. Students do not need to apply for this award – all eligible applicants will
automatically be considered.
These awards are for scholarships for full tuition and fees in the first year of studies at NWP and
will be granted to top students entering their first year of study at NWP. Students must confirm
acceptance by August 15th in order to be eligible for a full tuition and fees voucher for their
first year.
