The Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) has launched a new national scholarship program aimed at building artificial intelligence skills among Canada’s future environmental professionals.
Supported by Environment and Climate Change Canada, the AI for Earth Scholarship Program will provide 750 post-secondary students in environmental sciences and meteorology with free access to Amii’s Artificial Intelligence Literacy Foundations: Environmental Sciences and Meteorology pre-professional training.
The program is designed to equip students with practical AI literacy and applied machine learning skills they can use to address real-world environmental and climate challenges, particularly in public-sector and research-driven roles. Applications are now open.
Participants will complete two core workshops—ML Foundations 1 and ML Foundations 2—along with 10 specialized learning modules tailored to earth sciences and meteorology. All content is delivered asynchronously through Amii’s learning management system, allowing students to learn on their own schedules.
Students who complete the program will receive formal recognition of their competencies through a digital badging system.
The new scholarship builds on Amii’s broader AI literacy efforts, which have reached more than 250,000 learners globally, and complements other federally supported initiatives focused on developing Canada’s AI-ready workforce for a low-carbon economy.
