SCHOLARSHIPS

We want to give you your best chance at success. Our scholarship program is for students who are committed to their community, technical discipline, and professional development. In addition to receiving financial assistance to support your education, if you win a McElhanney scholarship, you get to interview for a summer co-op position at your local branch. These opportunities often lead to full-time careers with us!

Scholarship applications are typically released in the Fall. Check back in Fall 2021 to apply.

2020/2021 McElhanney Scholarship Winners

UNB Geomatics – Douglas Cameron

“It was a big decision for me to go back to university a second time to follow my passions. This scholarship will help me start again on the right foot financially, and it is also a great encouragement to keep pushing forward. Thanks McElhanney!”

BCIT Geomatics – Kasra Filsoof

“Thank you! It is with much gratitude that I write this letter of thanks. As a student, every bit of financial support is appreciated and your generous $2,000 will directly assist in my continued dedication towards the Geomatics Engineering Technology diploma. I love the Canadian outdoors and have enjoyed getting into nature with my family since we immigrated to Canada when I was in high school.”

BCIT Civil – Adam Janis

“Receiving this scholarship feels like the first true milestone in my Civil Engineering career. This money gives me the financial freedom to move across the province for the summer to pursue an internship at McElhanney’s Cranbrook location.”

University of British Columbia – Aliya Zhang

“I am honoured to have been selected as a recipient of the McElhanney 2020/2021 scholarship. The award money will alleviate some of the financial burden of my degree, and allow me to continue to pursue my studies, extracurriculars, and interests without worry.”

Ryan Bishop – Okanagan College

“McElhanney’s Scholarship will allow me to focus more of my time towards my academic studies rather than working part time. This scholarship also provides validation that I am a valuable commodity to my community as well as the industry that I look forward to pursuing a career in once my studies are completed. Thank you McElhanney for this opportunity.”

Colleen Wiebe – University of Victoria

“The scholarship will help me pay for my upcoming summer school tuition. I plan to also use part of it to buy a new agenda to organize my busy schedule of six classes and softball practices.”

Logan Silveira – Camosun Civil

“Being an international student this past year involved a lot of challenges and uncertainty, especially when it comes to funding. I am thankful to McElhanney for helping me finish my last term at Camosun and start my career in civil engineering.”

University of Alberta – Mackenzie Fix

“This scholarship gives me the opportunity to spend less time working to finance school, and more time gaining a diverse university experience. As I continue to pursue a degree I’m passionate about, I’ll now be able to further immerse myself into the engineering community at the UofA while learning as much as I can.”

University of Calgary – Alexander West

“As I complete my education at the University of Calgary, I am very thankful for receiving McElhanney’s generous award. Because of this scholarship, I will continue to pursue my passion for civil engineering in the hope that one day I can leave an impact on the built environment.”
