Scholarships

In 2003, the BC Construction Roundtable (BCCR) established a scholarship program to support students pursuing careers in construction. The first scholarship was awarded in 2004 to a graduate student in Construction Management within UBC’s Civil Engineering program.

Building on this initiative, a second scholarship was introduced in 2005 for a student enrolled in BCIT’s Bachelor of Construction Management program. In 2010, the program expanded further with the addition of a third scholarship for students in Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s trades program. By 2012, the scholarship program had grown to award six scholarships annually—two at each institution.

Each scholarship recipient receives a $1,500 award. Students apply through their faculty and are selected based on financial need, academic performance, and experience in the construction industry.


University of British Columbia

UBC’s Civil Engineering graduate program in Project and Construction Management offers a range of degree options, including coursework-based and thesis-based Master’s programs, as well as a PhD. The program provides both a broad foundation in project management and specialized expertise in construction management. Graduates are well-equipped to contribute to complex and large-scale construction projects.


Kwantlen Polytechnic University


In 2010, the BC Construction Roundtable (BCCR) committed to supporting education and workforce development in the construction trades. As part of this initiative, BCCR partnered with Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) to enhance training opportunities for aspiring tradespeople.

KPU’s Carpentry/Building Construction program provides hands-on training in essential construction skills, including tool use, residential framing, and concrete formwork. Carpentry apprentices complete four levels of technical training, combining classroom instruction with work-based experience. Upon graduation, students are well-prepared for careers in the construction industry.


British Columbia Institute of Technology


BCIT’s Bachelor of Technology in Construction Management is a unique program in Canada, designed to provide qualified applicants with the final two years of a bachelor’s degree. Taught by industry professionals, the program builds on students’ prior education and work experience, equipping them with essential management and business skills. Graduates are well-prepared to take on leadership roles and contribute effectively within construction management teams.
