The Institute’s scholarship award was created in 2014 and is intended to recognize the outstanding achievement and potential of students attending Canada’s post-secondary marine training institutions. The value of the award is presently $3,000.
All applications will be considered. The Institute’s National Council will consider applications during its spring (April) meeting and announce the award at that year’s Annual General Meeting in June. Therefore, the deadline will be May 1.
One award will ordinarily be made annually. Previous recipients of the scholarship may apply in successive years, provided they are continuing in a full-time program toward a marine engineering academic diploma and an operating license or certificate.
Eligibility for the scholarship award: The award is available to all Canadian citizens and Canadian permanent residents enrolled on a full-time basis in a post-secondary marine engineering education and training program, which program has as its central goal the granting of a marine engineering diploma and a government-conferred marine engineering operating designation or certificate.
A primary qualifying requirement for the Award is merit, together with the candidate’s potential to succeed in a career of marine engineering. The Council may also consider financial need in deserving applications.
Applying for the scholarship award: Applications must be sent (in confidence) to the CIMarE National Administrator by email (admin@cimare.ca) or by mail* by March 31st. An application letter of two pages is required (i.e. about 800 words). Applications should ideally be accompanied by one or two letters of reference, notably from training supervisors and academic instructors, and by a transcript of academic grades in the applicant’s program to date.
The Vancouver Island Branch is proud to offer an Education and Training Grant to CIMarE members to support ongoing development of Marine Engineers and Engineers working in the marine industry.

The award is determined with the assistance of an evaluation rubric in combination with the discretion of the VI Branch Awards Committee. The Committee is formed from members of the VI Branch Executive Committee.

A scholarship foundation for students pursuing careers in marine engineering or naval architecture has been created by Mrs. Nancy Challinor in memory of her late husband, Donald W. Challinor, noted marine engineer and shipyard executive.
Scholarships are awarded by the Foundation’s Trustees, which include executives of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the Canadian Institute of Marine Engineering and the Shipbuilding Association of Canada. At least three scholarships may be awarded annually, and it is intended to reserve one for each of: Western Canada (British Columbia and the Prairie Provinces & Territories); Central Canada (Ontario and Quebec); and the Atlantic Provinces, provided eligible applications are received from each region.
Scholarships will be awarded to graduates of the penultimate year (i.e. 3rd year of a 4-year program, or 2nd year of a 3-year program, etc.) of courses in naval architecture or marine engineering, as described herein.
