About this award

You can receive $1,750 CAD. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. There are two scholarships available in total. This is for you if you are a female student pursuing a career in the electrical industry and have already finished your first year of post-secondary study. You must apply by June 11, 2027. The application window opens on February 25, 2027. When you apply, ask Sonepar Canada (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 Sonepar Canada (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 Sonepar Canada (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 Sonepar Canada (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a female student who has completed at least one year in a Canadian college or university program. You must be currently enrolled in a field of study related to the electrical industry. There is no minimum grade point average (GPA) necessary to apply.
