Use Our Smart Form

You can submit your application for TAB funding right here on this page. But first, please ensure you've gathered all the supporting documents you'll need.

When applying for TAB funding, you must include proof of residence in Drayton Valley or the Brazeau County region. You'll also need an acceptance letter into your program, a student load acceptance letter (if applicable), and other important paperwork.

Remember: without the proper documentation, we can't process your application!

Prior to completing the application form, we strongly encourage all applicants to read through our Tuition Assistance Bursary Policy.

The Town of Drayton Valley and Brazeau County are committed to reducing financial barriers for community members to post-secondary education and training that serves to develop knowledge and skills relevant to their pursuit of professional development in existing careers and/or new vocational opportunities.

TAB funds tuition costs for any Post-Secondary Institution Partner education courses that results in or transfers to a locally or nationally recognized certification. Non-tuition associated and additional costs (including books, supplies, application fees, administrative fees, and technology fees etc.) are not eligible for funding and will be the student’s responsibility.

Before you begin:

Please note: TAB funding is designed to supplement, not replace, other financial aid. This means that to be eligible, you must have first exhausted all other available funding options, including federal, provincial, and regional grants, bursaries or scholarships.

If other funding sources are available but don’t cover the full cost, TAB funding may be awarded to cover the remaining tuition expenses.
