Overview

The Alfred Moses Memorial and Tom Williams Memorial Scholarships are awarded to part-time and full-time post-secondary students from the Northwest Territories. These $1,000 scholarships support students enrolled in certificate, diploma, degree programs or other approved training programs related to addressing the territory’s housing needs.

The scholarships were established in 2023 in memory of Tom Williams, who served as Housing NWT’s President and CEO, and Alfred Moses, who was an MLA and the Minister Responsible for Housing.

Six scholarships are for high school and mature students starting their post-secondary education, and six are for students who have completed at least their first year of study.

In total, there are 12 scholarships awarded annually, two in each Housing NWT district (Beaufort-Delta, Nahendeh, North Slave, Sahtu, South Slave) including two in Yellowknife.

As of 2025, the scholarships are administered in partnership with the Yellowknife Community Foundation.
