Joan and Bob Lehman Bursary

About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for an annual bursary supporting Indigenous students with financial need in planning and environmental design programs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Joan and Bob Lehman to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a bursary, 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 who needs financial help to cover your education costs while studying planning, architecture, or environmental design. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Joan and Bob Lehman how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Joan and Bob Lehman 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 Joan and Bob Lehman whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
