About this award
You can receive $1,000 annually if you are the sole winner. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. However, if McCuaig & Associates Engineering Ltd. selects two winners, each of you will receive $500. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a future in science, technology, mathematics, or engineering. You must submit your application by May 31. McCuaig & Associates Engineering Ltd. will notify the winning recipient by June 30. Winners are chosen based on a review of applicants. Selection criteria aren't published — ask McCuaig & Associates Engineering Ltd. how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask McCuaig & Associates Engineering Ltd. 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 McCuaig & Associates Engineering Ltd. whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies
You must be a self-identifying Indigenous student. You must be studying full-time in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field at any post-secondary school in Canada.

Tips for applying
- StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to email your files. Instead, send your completed application and proof of enrollment to info@mccuaig.net well before the May 31 deadline. This ensures you can fix any technical issues with your attachments.
- RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed source of funding. Instead, remember that only one or two students receive this award annually. Treat this as a helpful bonus rather than your primary way to pay for school.
