Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for funding available to 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 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 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.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is writing a generic application.
Winners instead highlight exactly how their specific program—like HVAC or Urban Planning—connects to the commercial real estate industry.
Mention your interest in the built environment to stand out.
Many students forget to leverage their community connections.
Winners often include letters of support from band councils or Indigenous student centers that verify their identity and community involvement.
Since there are three deadlines (August, November, and February), do not wait until the final one.
