CAWIC Annual Bursary

CAWIC provides educational bursaries each year to help empower women to take the first steps in their successful construction career.

Each year, the CAWIC Bursary Committee awards outstanding women with $2,000 bursaries. The program is open to women in construction-related programs. Once a student submits their application and supporting materials, the CAWIC Bursary Committee of volunteers from across the construction industry reviews the applications received, and recipients are then selected based on meeting the required criteria.

Through its Bursary Program, CAWIC helps promote education and encourage women to pursue careers in the construction industry. Since 2005, our Bursary Program has helped more than 80 women across Canada pursue their construction education.

• Applicant must identify as woman

  be enrolled full time in the continuing year
