No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact CBRE 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 technical fields, engineering, or the trades. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask CBRE how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CBRE 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 CBRE whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You qualify if you have any Indigenous affiliation and are attending a post-secondary institution across Canada, such as a college, university, technical college, or apprenticeship program. You can be at any level of study. This award targets students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and Skilled Trades. Specifically, your program of study should be in Skilled Trades, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), Construction Management, Construction Engineering, Technical Trades, Mechanical Engineering, Real Estate Sales and Management, or Urban Planning. You must be from Central Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia.
