About This Opportunity

The Schulich Builders Scholarship is a partnership between Cambrian College and the Schulich Foundation to support students enrolling in eligible full-time skilled trades certificate and diploma programs. The scholarships are valued at up to $40,000 ($20,000 per academic year) and support the cost of tuition, living expenses, and tools. Ten scholarships are available at Cambrian College: five for one-year certificate programs and five for two-year diploma programs. The scholarship aims to address the shortage of skilled trades workers needed to build and maintain infrastructure in cities and towns. Recipients must be Canadian citizens, meet college admission requirements, and demonstrate strong work ethic and character through letters of recommendation. Financial need is also a key consideration in the selection process. Scholarship recipients are expected to act as ambassadors by promoting career choices in skilled trades and the Schulich Builders Program in high schools and the community. The scholarship is renewable each semester as long as recipients pass their courses, with no minimum average required.
