The BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA) is proud to offer bursaries to support individuals pursuing a post-secondary education certificate, diploma or degree in construction safety, occupational health and safety (OHS), or related fields, who want to build a safety career in BC’s construction industry.

Whether you're just starting out, changing careers, or looking to upskill, a BCCSA bursary is designed to reduce the financial burden of pursuing the education needed to succeed in construction safety.

These bursaries are open to a wide range of applicants, including:

• High school graduates or post-secondary students entering post-secondary safety programs.
• Current construction workers and employees interested in transitioning into safety roles.
• Existing construction safety professionals seeking to advance their education

Multiple bursaries are available and typically range from $1,000 to $2,500. Priority is given to those with financial need, construction industry experience, and a demonstrated desire to pursue a career in construction safety.

Successful applicants will receive financial assistance that can be applied toward tuition, course materials, and other education-related expenses.

This bursary program is part of BCCSA’s ongoing efforts to improve safety across BC’s construction industry and support a stronger, more safety-conscious workforce across the province.

Bursary Conditions

• Application period May 01, 2026, until July 31, 2026. Successful candidates will be contacted directly by BCCSA by September 15, 2026.
• BCCSA Bursaries are for Canadian citizens or permanent residents currently living in British Columbia and who reside in British Columbia during their education.
• Applicants must be enrolled in or accepted to a certificate, diploma or degree program for construction safety, Health and Safety, or a related field at a recognized BC or Canadian post-secondary institution. The program should ideally equip the student to meet the educational requirements for the Canadian Registered Safety Technician (CRST®) or Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP®) certification.
• The education program can be full-time, part-time, or self-paced, and can be delivered in-person or online/virtual, as long as the bursary recipient resides in British Columbia during their education. For clarity, the recipient may attend an online/virtual program offered by a school outside BC if they live in BC while enrolled in the program.

Funds will be disbursed upon verification of enrollment.

BCCSA reserves the exclusive right to determine the quantity and dollar amount of bursaries, including deciding not to award bursaries in any given year.
