About the Foundation
The Quebec Order of Engineers Foundation (FOIQ) is dedicated to supporting the next generation of engineers in Quebec. Through grants, scholarships, and educational initiatives, the foundation invests in students and young people interested in science and engineering.
Mission, Vision, and Values
The FOIQ aims to foster excellence and innovation in engineering in Quebec by encouraging young talent, promoting scientific awareness, and supporting academic success. Its values include integrity, commitment, and a desire to make a positive impact on society.
Scholarships and Financial Support
Every year, the foundation offers numerous scholarships to deserving students in engineering. The goal is to recognize academic merit, encourage perseverance, and help alleviate the financial burden often associated with higher education.
Partnerships and Collaborations
The FOIQ frequently forms partnerships with organizations such as AquaAction, Kiewit, and Genium360. These collaborations expand opportunities for students and foster innovation in engineering through joint projects and renewed financial support.
How to Help
Support for the FOIQ can extend beyond annual donations. Options include making bequests, donating insurance policies, or gifts of shares, all of which come with significant tax benefits and leave a lasting impact on future generations of engineers.
Youth and Outreach Programs
Through donor support, the foundation runs outreach programs that raise awareness about the importance of science and engineering among youth. These initiatives help inspire and encourage thousands of young people to consider careers in engineering.
Get Involved
Anyone interested in supporting the next generation of engineers is invited to get involved with the FOIQ—whether through monetary donations, volunteering, or forming partnerships. The foundation offers a newsletter to keep supporters updated on scholarship periods, new projects, and opportunities from key partners.
