About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact ARUP Canada 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 are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in the built environment, such as engineering or urban planning. You have two application deadlines to meet: August 1 and November 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through a portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask ARUP Canada how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask ARUP Canada 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 ARUP Canada whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation to qualify. This award is open to students at any level of study attending post-secondary institutions across Canada, including colleges, universities, and technical colleges. You must be enrolled in one of the following programs: Engineering (including Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Environmental, Architectural, Construction, Computer, Software, General, or Engineering Science), Architecture, Urban Planning, Sustainability, or Engineering Technology (including Civil, Architectural, Building Systems, Construction, Transportation/Urban Planning, Mechanical, or Electrical). While open to all qualified students, preference will be given to those who are from or studying in Ontario, Alberta, or Quebec.

Tips for applying

  • Program FitAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, highlight how your specific field—like Urban Planning or Sustainability—matches Arup's focus on sustainable development and social usefulness. Mention a specific project of theirs that inspires you.
  • Professional NetworkingMany applicants ignore the internship aspect. Treat this as a job application as well as a scholarship. Reach out to the campus recruitment representatives listed in the requirements to introduce yourself before applying.
  • RealismBecause this award includes a paid internship at one of three offices in Toronto, Montreal, or Calgary, you should consider if you are willing and able to relocate for a work term.
