This year, BCA presented 158 scholarships to undergraduates and diploma students from built environment courses. Awarded in partnership with more than 200 industry firms, the scholarships represent an initiative by the BCA and the industry to attract and retain talent in sectors such as construction, architecture, and engineering. Aqilah shared how she had an interest in building things out of Lego bricks as a child. In ITE, she pursued a course in civil & structural engineering to follow her passion.
