About this award
Get a bursary for your engineering or construction studies and a chance at a paid work placement — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Pomerleau 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 the construction industry or engineering. 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 Pomerleau how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Pomerleau 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 Pomerleau whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
