DIALOG Scholarship for Students in the Design of the Built Environment

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for this Indigenous student award targeting those in architecture, engineering, or urban planning.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact DIALOG 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 the design of the built environment, such as architecture or urban planning, and you want to gain professional studio experience. 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 — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask DIALOG how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask DIALOG 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 DIALOG whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
