Nicole LeClair is a Red Seal welder, welding educator, engineering technologist, inspector, and one of the first students awarded a CWB Foundation student award in 2001.

The Nicole LeClair Welding Bursary was created in 2019 to support welding students pursuing welding or a welding-related skilled trade at the post-secondary education level at a publicly-funded post-secondary school within Ontario. Applicants must be residents of Ontario to be eligible to apply.

Bursaries will be paid directly to the post-secondary institution of which the applicant is registered to offset student tuition and fees.

This award is supported by LeClair’s personal funds and other charitable donations. Contributions from individuals or organizations are encouraged and a tax receipt will be issued from the Nicole LeClair Welding Bursary fund. To learn more and donate to the fund please click here.

A Note From Nicole LeClair

“I ask that you write your responses in your own words, without the use of AI generation. I’m looking for your unique voice, your personal experience, passion and authentic perspective.”

Applications that appear to be heavily AI-generated will not be contenders.

The motto of my bursary is: Strive. Persist. Be in it with all your heart. That’s where I want you to write from: Your heart!

Good luck, and thank you for your submissions!
