Unilock offering scholarships to Ontario landscape students
Now in its fourth year, Unilock’s Paving the Future Scholarship program offers the next generation of landscape architects, construction professionals and designers the opportunity to apply for a $5,000 scholarship to help pay for education expenses.
Established in 2022 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Unilock — the first company to manufacture paving stones in North America — the scholarship reflects the company’s deep-rooted commitment to advancing the hardscape industry. Since its inception, the scholarship has awarded $225,000 to students studying landscape architecture, landscape construction and related fields across the U.S. and Ontario.
“The Unilock Paving the Future Scholarship commemorates my father [Ed Bryant]’s legacy by investing in a new generation of landscape design, architecture and construction leaders,” said Andrew Bryant, president and CEO, Unilock. “We’re proud to offer this scholarship for another year.”
Applicants are selected based on academic achievement, leadership potential and a short essay describing their passion for the industry and long-term career goals. Beyond financial support, the scholarship also connects recipients with valuable educational resources offered by Unilock.
“I was a recipient for the Unilock Paving the Future Scholarship when I was a senior at University of Massachusetts Amherst,” said Luviana McLean, 2023 recipient. “That [scholarship] is what allowed me to cover my moving costs when I accepted a full-time position at Stantec, a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture and environmental consulting, where I now work as a landscape designer.”
Students passionate about designing outdoor spaces, building sustainable communities and leading the future of landscape design and construction are encouraged to apply.
Applications for this year’s scholarships are open until Oct. 31, 2025. Top applicants may be invited for an interview with the Unilock Scholarship Committee. Winners will be notified by Nov. 15, 2025.
