About this award

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact BTTC (Better Through Total Collaboration — a high-performance infrastructure project consultancy) 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 identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the building and infrastructure sector. 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 BTTC how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask BTTC 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 BTTC whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details

Program Focus

Avoid writing a generic essay about your grades.

Instead, highlight your specific passion for construction, project management, or civil engineering and explain why you want to work in infrastructure.

Mention your connection to the Greater Toronto Area clearly.

Support

Many students provide a basic teacher reference.

Instead, secure a reference from a mentor or professor in the engineering or construction field who can vouch for your technical aptitude and professional potential.

Strategy

Since there are three separate deadlines, do not wait until the final one in February.
