As a post-secondary institution, our mission is to help establish God’s Kingdom by equipping and mentoring individuals through biblically integrated education for life and careers that will meet the greatest needs of the world for the glory of God. Behind the scenes, there is a team dedicated to maintaining strong relationships with our alumni and donors who continue to support that mission.

The Prairie Alumni Association strives to facilitate effective communication between the alumni and friends of Prairie and the College itself. Connecting, sharing and caring are all part of this.

Impact Students

L.E. Maxwell Award (Alumni Referral)

The L. E. Maxwell Award has been created to provide alumni with tangible tools with which to aid our recruitment efforts. There is no cost to alumni who wish to participate, but you are welcome to give a donation to impact a new student’s life. Prairie would be pleased to present a $1,000 bursary to the student you nominate provided the following terms & conditions are met.

Terms and Conditions for this Award

  • The recipient must be a new student accepted and enrolled for the coming academic semester. ‘New’ is defined as never having been enrolled in an on-campus program at Prairie College.

  • In order to qualify, a Prairie alumnus is required to submit the L.E. Maxwell Award nomination form online. Forms submitted after the start of orientation will not be accepted and the student will not receive the bursary.

  • Only one L.E. Maxwell Award can be given per student.

  • The bursary is dispersed in two equal payments over two semesters. For example, a student would have $500 applied to their account in the fall semester and $500 applied in the winter semester.

  • In order to receive the bursary in the second semester, the student must have the previous semester’s account paid in full, be enrolled in 9 credits each semester, and must be a student in good standing.

Here are key opportunities you can partner with Prairie

We have launched our Campaign for Greater Impact to provide students with the very best learning opportunities and campus facilities for the decades ahead. 

In Phase One of this Campaign, we plan to invest in much-needed campus renewal, including: upgraded Infrastructure, a new Student Residence, Cafeteria, Worship Auditorium, and expanded Aviation Training Centre. A modern campus requires an investment that is bold, and even expensive, but each Campaign Project is strategic, and designed to enhance Prairie’s campus and student life experience.

Expansion of Prairie Aviation Training Centre

This expansion of PATC’s facility is a key project of Prairie’s Campaign for Greater Impact. It will increase the College’s capacity to train a new generation of Christian aviators to serve God in missions, and also address the growing need for trained pilots in the commercial aviation sector.

Scholarships & Education Fund

Invest in the next generation of missional professionals. Each year Prairie College distributes over $500,000 in scholarships and bursaries to students. We are grateful for each gift that reduces the burden of students’ tuition and allows students to fulfill their God-given professions.

Prison Bible Encounter Program

Encourage inmates in five institutions across Alberta to discover or reconnect with Jesus Christ. This fund assists the students studying the Certificate in Bible program with scholarships, resources for classes, and instruction. 

General Ministries

Prairie College is educating students to pursue a Biblical foundation for life and career.  Your contribution to this fund assists in minimizing the College’s general operating expenses.
