Mark Bain Scholarship

Submissions are now open for the inaugural Mark Bain P3 Scholarship. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 6, 2024.

The $5,000 annual scholarship is open to undergraduate and post-graduate students entering their final year at a Canadian university who are enrolled in business, engineering, law or other relevant discipline for the 2024-2025 academic year.

One (1) award will be presented to a student based on a paper prepared on a topic directly relevant to infrastructure public-private partnerships (P3s) in Canada. This is a paper already prepared and submitted as part of a student’s coursework.

The following are examples of relevant paper topics, although by no means an exhaustive list:

  • Operations & maintenance
  • Climate change
  • Project Finance
  • Construction innovation
  • P3 performance
