APPI Student Scholarships and Awards

Student Scholarships and Awards 

APPI annually recognizes and awards the achievement of students enrolled in post-secondary institutions with an interest in planning as a profession. Student Scholarships and Awards are evaluated based on the entirety of the application and overall merit.

APPI is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. Those individuals who identify as First Nations, Inuit, Métis, LGBTQ2S+, persons with disabilities, women and other equity deserving groups, are encouraged to apply for these scholarships and awards.

These awards are NOT intended for practicing professionals who are furthering their education (practicing professionals are encouraged to apply for the Legacy Fund Award).

The call for submissions for the Student Scholarships and Awards is issued annually in the first quarter of the year and the winning recipients are announced by the end of April each year.
