1000Women4STEM Award - Diploma

The NorQuest College 1000Women4STEM Award will help students achieve their educational and career goals by assisting self-funded learners who are not receiving any other sponsorship, grants or bursaries that would cover tuition, books, and/or mandatory college fees. This award is specifically designed to support women pursuing STEM diploma programs at NorQuest College. Eligibility requires self-identification as a woman (including trans-women and cis-gendered women), application to an eligible STEM diploma program for the Fall 2026 term, demonstration of financial need based on family income and a moderate standard of living, and Canadian citizenship or permanent residency. Students receiving other sponsorship such as Learner Benefits, WCB, Aboriginal funding, or Advancing Futures are not eligible. The award provides up to $22,000 to cover educational expenses including tuition, books, and mandatory college fees for self-funded learners pursuing diploma-level STEM education.
