The Government of Alberta is investing an additional $450K into the Northern Alberta Development Bursary program, bringing the total funding increase since the 2023-24 school year up by $1.1M. The program provides students with funding for learning opportunities in northern Alberta with the aim of boosting the region’s workforce and investing in provincial talent. The increase will enable an additional 50 students to receive financial support for their postsecondary education. “This important investment will empower more students in northern Alberta to pursue one of the many post-secondary education opportunities our province has to offer while helping meet northern Alberta’s current and future workforce needs,” said AB Minister of Advanced Education Rajan Sawhney.
