Jacobs Engineering Indigenous Bursary

About this award

Get a $5,000 bursary and a potential 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 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. You have three different 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 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.
