Grant Funding

Have you applied to an ESL, Academic Upgrading, or Employment Training program? Alberta Works for Learners has grant funding options available to eligible students to assist in completing training goals.

After applying to NorQuest College, you can discuss this option and complete the required Alberta Works for Learners application with a Student Navigator. Once your funding application is complete, it is forwarded to the Learner Income Support Office to be processed. The processing time is approximately six to eight weeks.
