Stantec Equity & Diversity Scholarship

Our goal with the Equity and Diversity Scholarship is to show we believe in STEAM programs and want to encourage more students that their aspirations are achievable—we want the next generation to have the opportunity to pursue their higher education goals. The 2023 Scholarship saw 44 students from Australia, Canada, India, Jamaica, United States, and New Zealand receive funding for their continued education. Along with the Scholarship, we have seven paid internships within our Infrastructure, Buildings, and Water teams in North America.

The students are passionate about their studies and future careers which are in a wide range of disciplines including computer programming, medicine, psychology, engineering, artificial intelligence, journalism, architecture, microbiology, animal sciences, and more. We recognize the value and advantages of diverse ideas within our communities and are committed to providing a platform to support the next generation of leaders and champions in our industry.

We recognize the value and advantages of diverse ideas within our communities. We are committed to providing a platform to support the next generation of leaders and champions in our industry, and we are focused on growing diversity within the science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) fields.

The Stantec Equity & Diversity Scholarship will contribute to the creation of a critical mass of talented students that will fully represent our industry—it will provide an environment in which all can thrive academically and professionally. Through this scholarship, Stantec will award $200,000 annually. We believe everyone has a right to education, and we are committed to providing people in historically underrepresented and Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) groups with financial aid.

Here at Stantec, we value an inclusive and diverse workplace culture where we seek a broad range of perspectives and contributions to our industry—and the communities where we live and work.

The number of scholarships awarded will be based on the specific needs articulated by applicants, and the award values will be a variable range between $1,500 and $10,000. Additionally, there will be 10 paid internships (locations to be confirmed annually) available to applicants.

The Stantec Equity & Diversity Scholarship is part of a broader commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in our organization. We know that we must increase our focus on building the future talent pipeline and find more ways to support underrepresented populations in our industry. This scholarship program is just one example of our commitment to break through barriers to have an impact.
