Awards
Institute for Co-operative Education students are among the most exceptional students on campus — and we know how hard they work. The Institute offers several awards that recognize student achievement, and some include a little extra financial support.
Every spring, the Institute hosts CARE, our annual recognition event where we honour both the students and the employers who go the extra mile!
In addition to our Institute awards, we often nominate exceptional students for external awards.
The CARE awards
The online nomination forms for CARE are sent out by email in February/March every year to members of the Institute who have done work terms in the current year.

Our generous award donors
We are grateful to our generous donors who have created awards to recognize achievement and honour a loved one.
For example, the Chenfeng Huang Memorial Scholarship was created by the Institute team to honour their beloved former associate director. The Bergeron Family Undergraduate Co-op Scholarship was created by Lynn Bergeron, a retired member of the Institute staff, and Marc Bergeron, a Concordia BFA alumnus, in memory of their aunt Mme Françoise Laurette Presseau.
If you would like to support students and create an award in honour of a loved one, reach out to the Institute team.
