About this award

You can receive a $2,500 scholarship. This is a grant, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as part of the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) community and are pursuing a technical or business education. You must apply by June 11, 2027. When you apply, ask Schneider Electric (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Schneider Electric (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 Schneider Electric (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 Schneider Electric (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You are also required to have maintained a minimum cumulative average of 80%.

• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund. Instead, remember there is only 1 scholarship available, which makes it very competitive. Apply for several other awards through the EFC (Electro Federation Canada — the organization that manages electrical trade scholarships) to increase your chances.
