TNB Scholarship

 

The Thomas & Betts Scholarship Award, part of Electro-Federation Canada (EFC)’s 2015 scholarship program, is more than a scholarship.

The award will be granted to a student who has completed at least the second year of a post-secondary program in engineering (industrial, mechanical or electrical) or in operation management, who has maintained a minimum cumulative average of 75%, and who has demonstrated community involvement.

Now in its 20th year, the EFC scholarship program will award a record $120,500 across 52 scholarships. Engaging university and college students is critical in our industry, says JorisMyny, Chair of Electro-Federation Canada (EFC)’s scholarship program and a senior vice president of Siemens Canada Limited.
