About this award

No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Evolugen to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing a career in the renewable energy sector, such as wind, solar, or hydro power. Deadlines come around three times a year on August 1, November 1 and February 1, so aim for whichever one is next. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Evolugen how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Evolugen 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 Evolugen whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must have any Indigenous affiliation and be studying in Ontario (ON), Quebec (QC), or British Columbia (BC). You can be at any level of study, provided you are enrolled in a program related to the renewable energy industry. Eligible programs include engineering, engineering technology, business administration, commerce, environmental stewardship, or trades such as electrical, millwright, machinist, and powerline technician. While open to those in the three listed provinces, preference will be given to students from the regions in which Evolugen operates.

Tips for applying

Program FitAvoid writing a generic application. Instead, explain exactly how your studies in engineering, business, or trades connect to the renewable energy industry and Canada's transition to net zero.
SupportDon't forget to highlight their local ties. Since preference is given to those near Evolugen's project sites, explicitly name your community and explain your connection to the region.
StrategyBecause there are three separate deadlines (August, November, and February), don't wait until the final one. Applying in the earlier windows may increase your visibility to the selection committee.
RealismThis is a targeted award for a specific niche of the economy. If you are in a general program, emphasize the "Environmental Stewardship" or "Renewables" aspect of your coursework to match the funder's mandate.
