One of CAWIC’s mandates is to promote education and encourage women to pursue careers in the construction industry. To this end, each year we organize several fundraising events, and a portion of the proceeds are allocated to our bursary fund. In order to help us identify potential applicants for bursaries, we approach various Canadian post-secondary institutions that provide diploma or degree programs in construction-related disciplines to distribute information to students on our bursary program. Our Bursary Committee will select the successful recipients of several $1,000 and $2,000 bursaries from a list of applicants. These recipients are chosen based on meeting the required criteria.

Students enrolled in construction-related programs may apply directly to CAWIC on or before June 30, 2023 for the term commencing in September of that year.
