About this award

You can receive a $3,500 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. There is one scholarship available. This is for you if you identify as part of a historically excluded group—including women, non-binary people, Indigenous Peoples, racialized or Black people of colour, people with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ or gender and sexually diverse individuals—and you are passionate about a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) or business. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply, ask Hammond Power Solutions (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 Hammond Power Solutions (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 Hammond Power Solutions (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 Hammond Power Solutions (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You must be enrolled at an accredited community college, four-year college/university, or graduate program in Canada. You must identify as part of a historically excluded group based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or other similar factors. This award targets students in disciplines in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) or business-related programs. While the funder is especially interested in supporting those interested in manufacturing or the electrical industry, all individuals meeting the main criteria are encouraged to apply.
