No fixed dollar amount is posted — contact Ontario Power Generation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in the energy sector and want to contribute to your family and community. You can apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. 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.
You must have any Indigenous affiliation to apply. You need to be enrolled in a minimum 2-year post-secondary program. Your field of study must be one with the potential to lead to a career in the electricity or energy industry, specifically focusing on Engineering, Science, and Technology. While open to all qualifying students, those from Ontario Power Generation's communities are encouraged to apply. If you win, you may also be considered for a paid work term or placement at Ontario Power Generation.
