Confederation College announces new scholarship for students in skilled trades
The Canerector Foundation is investing $500,000 into a new partnership with Confederation College to support students in entering the skilled trades.
The scholarship will support 200 students over the next five years, with at least five scholarships each year dedicated to Indigenous students.
Canerector’s scholarship will be for students entering two-year programs for technicians and engineers, including aircraft maintenance, forestry ecosystem management, water resource management, and civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering.
Students who are selected can expect $1000 per semester and an additional $1000 upon completing their programs.
The scholarship program will also include a mentorship component, offering opportunities for networking and career development.
