About this award

You can receive a $3,500 scholarship and secure an internship with the company. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a woman pursuing a degree or diploma in a technical or business field who also spends your time volunteering in your community. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply, ask Eaton (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Eaton (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. There is 1 scholarship available. Ask Eaton (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 Eaton (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the names of organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact you had on others. Write about one project where your help made a visible difference.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, highlight the connection between your studies and your desire to work at a company like Eaton. Explain why an internship with them fits your career goals.
• RealismAvoid assuming the 75% average makes you a lock for the award. Instead, remember there is only 1 scholarship available. Apply to several other awards to diversify your chances of getting funding.
