ḴEL,ḴELOŦEN ȻE S,ISTEW̱ Education Fund

There are very few Indigenous professionals working in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in Canada. Many engineering and architecture firms work with Indigenous communities but few have Indigenous people working within their organizations. The ḴEL,ḴELOŦEN ȻE S,ISTEW̱ Education Fund and their partners recognize this and want to help Indigenous people pursue careers in our industry. The fund will provide both financial support and career mentorship.

The ḴEL,ḴELOŦEN ȻE S,ISTEW̱ Fund invites all Indigenous, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students pursuing careers in architecture or engineering to apply to the award. An award of $5,000 will be awarded annually to one successful applicant.
