The Pengrowth-Nova Scotia Energy Scholarship Program
Nova Scotia has a strong and growing energy sector that will continue to be a rich source of career opportunities.
Many Nova Scotians are employed in rewarding, well-paying jobs in the energy industry and many more are finding challenges in emerging, renewable energy technologies.
Up to 12 university scholarships, valued at $10,000 each ($2,500 renewable over four years), are awarded annually to students completing Grade 12 at a Nova Scotia high school with the intent to pursue energy-related studies at a university.
Students applying for the university scholarship must be accepted into an accredited post-secondary educational institute for studies in business, science or engineering at the bachelor level. Students must be graduating from a Nova Scotia secondary school with a full academic course load in the final year (Grade 12) with an average mark of 75 percent or B in that year. Students applying must not be receiving additional scholarship support in excess of $2,500.
One university scholarship is designated each year to a visible minority.
The program also offers up to ten non-renewable $2,500 scholarships for first-year students pursuing energy-related trades and technology programs at the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC).
Applicants must be completing Grade 12 at a Nova Scotia high school or be mature students returning to the academic community to continue their education. A mature student indicates students who have graduated from a Nova Scotia high school one or more years ago. Students applying must be graduating with a Nova Scotia high school diploma.
Two of the trade scholarships are designated each year to Aboriginal students.
Additionally, the Pengrowth-Nova Scotia Energy Scholarship program includes the Energy Innovation Grant for students pursuing studies at the Master's degree level. A maximum of four grants, valued at $15,000 each, are awarded every year to graduate students conducting eligible research.
