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. This is for you if you are a university or college student in Canada who has a clear career path in the electrical industry and a passion for leading positive change in your community or school. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply through the EFC (Electro Federation Canada — the national association representing the electrical contractor industry) portal, ask how and when you will be notified of the results. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Hubbell Canada (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, though only 1 scholarship is available. Ask Hubbell Canada (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 Hubbell Canada (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

Tips for applying

• Community LeadershipAvoid just listing the organizations you belong to. Instead, describe a specific time you led a project that improved your community, environment, or school. Give a concrete example of the change you created.
• SupportAvoid providing a generic character reference. Instead, ask a professor or industry mentor to write about your specific leadership skills and your commitment to the electrical industry. Ensure they mention your initiative.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, highlight how your 80% average combines with your goal of working in the electrical sector. Explain why this specific career path is your choice.
• RealismAvoid overlooking the fact that only 1 scholarship is available. Instead, treat this as a high-reach goal while continuing to apply for other bursaries. Diversify your applications to increase your chances of funding.
