Northern Alberta Teacher Award │ Government of Alberta

January 19, 2026

Value

2 years of full-time employment to receive a $9,000 award; 3 years of full-time employment to receive an $18,000 award

Description

The Northern Alberta Teacher Award (NATA) encourages students in a teaching program to live and work as a teacher in northern Alberta, within the Northern Alberta School Division boundaries after completing their program. Award recipients will be chosen while in their last year of a Bachelor of Education program from an accredited post-secondary institution in Alberta. They will receive the award once they have completed their 2- or 3-year stay living and working in a school division within northern Alberta.

Eligible Applicants

To be considered for the Northern Alberta Teacher Award, an applicant must:

  • be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or protected person enrolled full-time in a post-secondary program at an approved Alberta post-secondary institution
  • be in the last year of a Bachelor of Education program or in the second year of a Bachelor of Education After Degree
  • be completing a program with a specialization in demand within northern Alberta
  • sign an agreement declaring their intent to live and work in northern Alberta for the entire duration of their return to service
  • not be a current or past recipient of the Northern Student Teacher Bursary

You can increase your chance of success if you have an acceptable academic record.

Eligible Expenses

The Northern Alberta Teacher Award is a financial incentive for applicants in their final year of a Bachelor of Education degree who are willing to complete a 2- or 3-year return of service working in northern Alberta. When applying for the award, applicants can select the length of return of service they are interested in completing.

Students must be able and willing to complete:

  • 2 years of full-time employment to receive a $9,000 award, or
  • 3 years of full-time employment to receive an $18,000 award

Selected recipients will be asked to sign a return of service agreement. Funds will be disbursed once successful applicants have completed the term of their agreement. Recipients who do not fulfill the full return of service requirement will not receive the award.

Deadline Date

Applications open on December 8, 2025, and close on January 19, 2026, at 9:00 am. No applications will be accepted after that time.
