About this award

Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for a bursary supporting Indigenous students in STEM and skilled trades across Canada.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact CBRE 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 pursuing a career in technical fields, engineering, or the trades. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask CBRE how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask CBRE 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 CBRE whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Program Fit

The biggest mistake is applying with a general arts or science degree.

Strategy

Winners instead highlight exactly how their program matches the list of eligible studies, like Mechanical Engineering or Urban Planning, to show they fit the funder's specific goals.

Support

The biggest mistake is providing a generic character reference.

Strategy

Winners instead secure letters from instructors or trade supervisors who can vouch for their technical skills and commitment to their field.

Strategy

The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline.

Strategy

Because there are three separate windows (August, November, and February), you should apply during the earliest one that fits your enrollment status to get your funds sooner.
