Limited Scholarship funding is available for Winter 2021 through the Faculty of Engineering. 

All applicants will be considered for placement in the programs. However, as we have limited funding for scholarships, a selection committee will review and select recipients for the Scholarship. 

The Scholarship is valued at $500 per week for the duration of the program (i.e. 6 weeks for Winter 2021) and is awarded subject to completing mid-project and final submission requirements as outlined by the project supervisor. 

Due to limited funding, not all students offered a placement will receive a scholarship.
