Carlton Trail College is encouraging prospective students to apply early for the 2026–27 academic year with the return of its Early Application Scholarships – an opportunity to be rewarded simply for planning ahead.
Students who apply to eligible full-time, post-secondary programs 12 weeks or longer by the early application deadline will be automatically entered to win one of several $1,000 Early Application Scholarships. No additional scholarship application is required.
“Applying early helps students secure their spot, plan financially, and prepare for success,” said Jennifer Brooks, Advancement and External Affairs Director. “The Early Application Scholarship is our way of rewarding students who take that important first step.”
Key Deadlines to Know
Students are encouraged to take note of the following early application deadlines:
- Practical Nursing – Early Application Scholarship Deadline:
April 30, 2026 - Early Application Scholarship Deadline for the 2026–27 Academic Year:

The May 15 deadline applies to students applying to the following programs:
- Carpentry
- Continuing Care Assistant
- Early Childhood Education (Diploma)
- Industrial Mechanics
- Office Administration

To be eligible, students must submit a complete application to one of the eligible programs by the applicable deadline. All eligible early applicants will then be entered into the scholarship draw.

Why Apply Early?
Applying early offers several advantages beyond scholarship eligibility. Early applicants often have more time to:
- Plan finances and housing
- Apply for additional funding or student aid
- Prepare for program start dates
- Connect with student services and supports
With hands-on training and industry-focused programming, Carlton Trail College prepares students for in-demand careers across Saskatchewan and beyond. The Early Application Scholarship program reflects the College’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and student success.
