Hydro One Establishes Women in Engineering Scholarship

To mark 10 years of Hydro One’s involvement in Go Eng Girl, a program aimed at increasing young women’s interest in STEM subjects, the utility is offering 15 scholarships of $5,000 each for women studying engineering at the undergraduate level in accredited Ontario universities. Recipients will also have an opportunity to engage in a paid developmental work term with Hydro One. Application deadline: October 2.

Following the application deadline, applications will be reviewed by Hydro One’s Community Investment Department and Diversity Manager in conjunction with Hydro One’s People & Culture Recruitment group. The top candidates will be short-listed for an interview and ranked according to their interview scores.
