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 only 1 scholarship available. This is for you if you are a woman pursuing a degree in a technical or commercial field and you have a strong record of volunteering in your community. You must apply by June 11, 2027. Applications open on February 25, 2027. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. 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. 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.

Tips for applying

• Community ServiceAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact you had on others. Write about one project where your help made a visible difference.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, show how your studies in Engineering or Business connect to your goal of working in the Ontario energy sector. Mention why you want to enter this specific industry.
• RealismAvoid assuming you will win because of your GPA. Instead, remember that only 1 scholarship is available for all qualifying students in the province. Apply for several other awards to increase your chances.
