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.

Student/Employer Spotlight

Nathaniel Marples

“Training and then working at Prairie was a truly wonderful and exciting time. There was a constant emphasis on combining technical excellence with spiritual growth and maturity. I believe that through the aviation program and others like it, Prairie shows a practical application of 1 Corinthians 10:31 which says, “So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.””

Latitude Air Ambulance

“Latitude Air Ambulance serves the sick and injured in all corners of the world, and does so with compassion, integrity and trust.  With that in mind, Latitude is always looking for quality people to become part of its team.  Prairie College has provided numerous pilot candidates over the past number of years that have fit this character trait well.  To add as a bonus – the pilots coming out of Prairie College have proven to be professional, teachable, and well-rounded pilots.  Thank you for all you do – keep up the great work you are doing with your pilot training program!”
