NTI Foundation opens $1,500 training scholarships for Inuit
The Nunavut Tunngavik Foundation is accepting applications for $1,500 Skills and Employment Advancement Scholarships for Inuit in recognized training or upgrading programs lasting at least four weeks. NTI lists trades, employment-skills and upgrading programs—including pre-trades, Personal Support Worker, Adult Basic Education, PASS and foundation programs—as examples. No application deadline is stated in the Aug. 19 announcement. Sourcetunngavik.com↗
What happened
Nunavut Tunngavik Foundation announced Aug. 19 that applications are open for its Skills and Employment Advancement Scholarship. Each recipient can receive $1,500 for a recognized program of four weeks or longer that focuses on trades, employment skills or upgrading. NTI says applications can be submitted by mail, email, in person or through a local Community Liaison Officer. Sourcetunngavik.com↗
Why it matters
This is a current, direct funding opportunity for Inuit taking shorter employment-focused training that may not fit a conventional post-secondary program. It follows the Foundation’s decision to end its separate post-secondary scholarship, while retaining this training scholarship and culture-and-healing programs. Sourcetunngavik.com↗
What happens next
Applicants can contact NTI’s Inuit Programs and Services office or a local Community Liaison Officer for the application and submission requirements. The release gives no application closing date, number of awards, total program budget or first-come-first-served rule.
