In November 2005, the Province of Alberta announced the creation of the Alberta Centennial Scholarship to celebrate its centennial and its pride in Canada. Starting in 2006, twenty-five scholarships of $2005 will be allocated to each province and territory to encourage students in financial need to pursue post-secondary education anywhere in Canada. For more information on the Alberta Centennial Scholarship initiative, visit their website.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, the Department of Education will award seventeen scholarships to female students and eight scholarships to male students entering their first year as a full-time student in provincially designated apprenticeship trades.
