Jacobs Engineering Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Get a $5,000 bursary and a 4-month paid summer internship if you are an Indigenous student studying engineering, environmental science, or biology — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.

You receive a $5,000 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. You also get the opportunity to take a 4-month paid summer internship at 1 of 8 offices located across Canada. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the sciences or engineering to help make the world more sustainable. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Jacobs Engineering's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. 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.
