Bruce Power Diverse Populations Scholarships

In 2015, Bruce Power launched a new Aboriginal Scholarship Program to assist post-secondary students as they further their studies. The Aboriginal Scholarship for post-secondary Education Beyond First Year program supports students from our local Aboriginal communities of Saugeen, Nawash, Historic Saugeen Metis and students who are members of Metis Nation of Ontario Region 7.

Applicants must have completed their first year of post-secondary education or first year of a skilled trade. From 2015 to 2019 (five years), Bruce Power will award 10 students a $2,000 scholarship. The second program is the Youth Aboriginal Scholarship Fund in support of Rt Hon. Paul Martin. In recognition of the former Prime Minister's contribution to the betterment of Aboriginal youth, Bruce Power will provide $1,000 scholarships to two Aboriginal students at each of Saugeen District Secondary (SDSS), Peninsula Shores District School (PSDS) and St. Mary's High School (SMHS) for the next three years. Teachers from each school will choose the worthy recipients on Bruce Power's behalf.

Requirements

Designated Groups for the purpose of this scholarship application, three designated groups will be considered to ensure a minimum of 15 % of scholarships are granted to persons with disabilities, Aboriginal and members of visible minorities. Self-identifying as a member of one of these groups is completely voluntary. The designated groups are outlined:

  • Persons with disabilities are those that have a long-term or recurring physical, mental, sensory, psychiatric or learning impairment and who consider themselves to be disadvantaged by reason of that impairment, or believe that an educational institution is likely to consider them to be disadvantaged by reason of that impairment. This also includes persons whose functional limitations owing to their impairment have been accommodated in their academic career.
  • An Aboriginal person is a North American Indian, Metis, or Inuit and/or a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian and/or member of an Indian Band/First Nation.
  • Members of Visible Minorities are persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour, regardless of birthplace.

Eligibility: Applicants must provide proof:

  • Registration in an accredited post-secondary program for fall
  • Residency of Bruce, Grey or Huron county (or that of their immediate family parents or guardians)

Ineligibility: Students that have received a scholarship from Bruce Power in the past are no longer eligible for future scholarships. Process: A committee of Bruce Power employees and union representatives will review all applications and select recipients in each of the granting areas. Each recipient will be contacted directly by July 31 and a celebration event will be held at the Bruce Power Visitors Centre for all scholarship winners and their families.
