KPMB Architects
About this award
Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary if you are an Indigenous student studying architecture, landscape architecture, or urban planning.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact KPMB Architects to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in designing buildings, parks, or city layouts. You have three different 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 KPMB Architects how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask KPMB Architects 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 KPMB Architects whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
