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 an Indigenous student in Ontario who is passionate about community service and interested in a career in the energy sector. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply, ask Ontario Energy Network (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 Ontario Energy Network (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 Ontario Energy Network (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 Ontario Energy Network (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 an Indigenous undergraduate university or college student in Ontario. You must have successfully completed at least one year of study in one of these disciplines: electrical trade, engineering, IT, or business. Additionally, you must show that you have a commitment to community service.

Community ServiceAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on your community. Write about one project where your effort made a visible difference.
StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, emphasize your interest in the Ontario energy sector. Explain why you want to build a career in this specific industry.
RealismAvoid overlooking the fact that only 1 scholarship is available. Instead, treat this as a high-reach goal while continuing to apply for other funding. Diversify your applications to ensure you have multiple paths to funding.
