Each year, the CMEA awards a number of bursaries to association members or member's dependents who are pursuing post-secondary studies. Each bursary is named in memory of a distinguished military engineer to honour their significant contribution to the Canadian Military Engineers, the Canadian Armed Forces, or Canada during their lifetime. To date, the CMEA has awarded a total of $ 115,500 to further the educational needs of our members and their families.
The CMEA is pleased to announce the nine bursary winners for 2021. Each winner will receive $1500 towards their post-secondary studies.
