Lynden "Brent" Jeffrey Memorial Grant

The Lynden "Brent" Jeffrey Memorial Grant honors the memory of Brent Jeffrey, a heavy equipment operator and skilled mechanic who was passionate about restoring old cars and trucks. Known for his energy, enthusiasm, and generosity, Brent was always ready to lend a hand or offer support to others. He learned his mechanical skills from his father and excelled at auto body work, finding joy and peace in the process of grinding, welding, sanding and painting. This memorial grant was established by Brent's family and friends to support female students enrolled in NAIT's Auto Body Technician program. The award serves as a reminder that generosity, support and kindness can make a lasting impact, just as Brent did in the lives of those who knew him. His unexpected passing left a deep void, and this grant honors his legacy by helping women pursue careers in the field he loved. The grant is awarded on the basis of a written statement detailing the applicant's personal journey to post-secondary education. Apprentices must submit an application to be considered for this award. This opportunity provides financial support to help female students succeed in their auto body technician training at NAIT.
