About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Architecture49 B+H Architects to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, 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 architecture, landscape architecture, or the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. 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 Architecture49 B+H Architects how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Architecture49 B+H 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 Architecture49 B+H Architects whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation to apply. Priority will be given to students from the Anishinabek Nation; however, if there are not enough applicants from those communities, students in the eligible programs will be considered. You can be at any level of study. Your program of study must be in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) or architectural and related studies, specifically Architectural Technology, Architecture, or Architecture and Landscape Architecture (MARCLA — a combined program focusing on building and environmental design).
