Stantec Launches Equity & Diversity Scholarship Program, Now Accepting Applications
Students can rejoice– the international professional services company in the design and consulting industry, Stantec, is launching a new scholarship called the Stantec Equity & Diversity Scholarship Fund according to a recent press release.
This initiative will provide up to ten students with paid internships and $200,000 in global scholarships for the annual academic year as well. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2021, and eligibility is simple. Student applicants must be enrolled in a college, university, or post-secondary institution in the 2021-22 academic year in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree; pursue a science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) major; and belong to a historically underrepresented population/group such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), members of the LGBTQ2+ community, people with disabilities, veterans, and/or first-generation college students.
“Stantec is dedicating scholarship resources to help unlock academic brilliance sitting in the minds of underrepresented communities. We see these scholarships as serving an important part in our broad and critical strategy to achieve racial equality. This equality is a target that is right; it is a target to which we must be dedicated to in order to achieve it in our lifetime,” said Adam Carnegie, Stantec Urban Planner and Senior Associate in the firm’s Community Development practice. “Stantec is committed to providing diverse and inclusive scholarships to help give all the communities we serve, and our firm, the benefit of these sharp minds.”
The company is proud to empower the next generation of industry leaders and provide people in historically underrepresented groups with this scholarship, which is a joint effort organized by both the organization’s Community Engagement and Diversity & Inclusion programs.
