About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Rochon Building Corporation 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 have any Indigenous affiliation and are pursuing a post-secondary education in construction or architecture. 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 Rochon Building Corporation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Rochon Building Corporation 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 Rochon Building Corporation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation and be a student from or studying in Ontario. You can be at any level of study. Priority is given based on your program: first preference goes to students enrolled at George Brown College in the Angelo Delzotto School of Construction Management, and second preference goes to students enrolled in Architectural Technology or Construction Engineering Technology at an accredited institution in Ontario.

Tips for applying

  • Program ChoiceAvoid ignoring the preference tiers. Instead, highlight your connection to the Angelo Delzotto School of Construction Management or related technology programs in Ontario to match the funder's priorities.
  • SupportAvoid providing generic references. Instead, secure letters from instructors in your construction or architectural program who can vouch for your technical skills.
  • StrategyAvoid treating this as just a grant. Since qualified candidates may be eligible for employment with Rochon Building Corporation after graduation, treat your application like a job pitch to a national construction firm.
  • RealismAvoid applying only once. Because there are three separate deadlines (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should check if you can apply during multiple windows to increase your chances.
