About this award
You can receive a $5,000 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. Additionally, winning candidates get the opportunity to pursue a 4-month paid summer internship at 1 of 8 Jacobs offices located across Canada. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the technical and environmental sciences. 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 Jacobs Engineering how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Jacobs Engineering 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 Jacobs Engineering whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Who qualifies

Mention a specific project or goal you have within these fields.
Support
Don't forget to leverage their university's Indigenous student center.
Instead, ask your advisors for help refining your personal statements and securing strong letters of recommendation from faculty.
