Stantec Future Leaders Scholarship

We believe in the power of leadership, innovation, and community impact. The Stantec Future Leaders Scholarship is designed to support the next generation of changemakers—students who are committed to making a difference in their industries and communities.

Each year, Stantec awards $200,000 in scholarships to students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, arts/architecture, and mathematics (STEAM) fields. This scholarship is open to students from all backgrounds who demonstrate leadership potential, resilience, and a commitment to shaping a better future.

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 up to 10 paid internships (locations to be confirmed annually) available to applicants.

We know that education is a key driver of opportunity, and we are dedicated to helping all students thrive.
