About this award
Get funding for your energy-focused studies and a potential paid work placement at Ontario Power Generation — apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Ontario Power Generation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student who wants to honor the legacy of John Wesley Beaver by pursuing a career in the energy sector while supporting your family and community. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Ontario Power Generation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Ontario Power Generation 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 Power Generation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
