ScholarshipsIn 2003 the membership of the BC Construction Roundtable established a scholarship program. The first scholarship was awarded to a student in graduate studies of Construction Management in Civil Engineering at UBC in 2004. The next year a second scholarship was added for a student studying Construction Management at BCIT in the bachelor degree program. And in 2010, a third scholarship was added for studies in the trades program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. In 2012 six scholarships were awarded to two students at each of the educational institutions. In addition to a cash award, students are given a one year membership in the BCCR. Students apply through their faculty and are awarded a $1500 scholarship based on their need and their experience in the construction industry as well as their performance in their course work.
