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 leader in your school and community who is pursuing a career in business, engineering, or the electrical trades. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply, ask Nexans Canada (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 Nexans 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. There is 1 scholarship available. Ask Nexans 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 Nexans Canada (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
