About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for scholarships supporting Indigenous students in architecture, engineering, urban planning, or indigenous languages.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Arcadis to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in design, planning, or language preservation. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Arcadis how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Arcadis during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Arcadis whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
