The NADC Bursary is a return service bursary of $6,000 per year for a maximum of
two years, and is offered to students in their final two years of post-secondary studies.
It is meant to encourage students to train for jobs that are in demand in northern Alberta.

The NADC Bursary program provides up to $12,000 over two years, and is non-repayable if you agree to live and work in the north for one year in return for each year of bursary support received. Some careers in high demand now include education, medical and health, engineering and technical fields and social work.

You may receive a NADC Bursary if you:

  • Are a resident of Alberta
