About this award

You can receive a $2,500 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. There is 1 scholarship available. This is for you if you are a student in the Maritime Region who has balanced your academic studies with leadership roles in your school or local community. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply, ask Eddy Group Limited (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through their portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Eddy Group Limited (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Eddy Group Limited (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Eddy Group Limited (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just listing the titles of the clubs you joined. Instead, describe one specific time your leadership led to a real result for your school or community. Write about a project you started or a problem you solved.
• SupportAvoid using a generic character reference. Instead, ask a teacher or community leader who has seen your leadership in action to write your letter. Ensure they give a concrete example of your impact.
• StrategyAvoid ignoring the preference clause if it applies to you. Instead, clearly state if you are a relative of an Eddy Group Limited employee, customer, or supplier partner in your application. This identifies you as part of the group the funder prioritizes.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund since only 1 scholarship is available. Instead, use this as one of several options in your funding plan. Keep searching for other Maritime-region awards to increase your chances.
