SIAST Students GET SMARTer
Thanks to the generosity of donors and alumni, SIAST gives away more than $1.4 million in student awards during the academic year
Here are a few things you should know about the SIAST Student Awards program.

- SIAST offers student awards for several apprenticeship programs. Awards vary in value from under $500 to $1,500 each. Applications are easy to complete.
- You can apply for a number of awards with just one application.
- You don't have to be a brainiac to receive a student award. Not all student awards are based on marks - some are based on financial need or things like community or volunteer involvement
- SIAST offers awards to students at the beginning and the end of the school year. Doing well in your program can have big rewards. SIAST gives out Achievement Scholarships to students completing certificate programs and diploma programs.
- You have to apply for many awards, but SIAST has nominated awards too. Depending on the award, students are nominated by their program instructors for a number of reasons like professional promise, marks, or even class leadership.
- Many of the companies that support SIAST student awards provide work placements for SIAST students and hire SIAST grads. Receiving one of those awards could be beginning of a great career!
- SIAST has more than $200,000 in awards designated to students of self-declared Aboriginal ancestry. Many, like the CIC Bursary, are worth thousands of dollars each!
