EnergyRates.Ca Scholarship

• Citizenship: American or Canadian

The energy industry has always lived with one foot in the present and the other in the future. With many major projects—power plants, dams, pipelines—having development times measured in decades, success depends upon anticipating the needs of companies and countries in the years ahead.

We look forward to seeing what the next great minds bring to this ever-transforming industry, and want to do our part in assisting those great minds achieve their goals and dreams. This is why Energy Rates is offering a $500 scholarship to any American or Canadian student enrolled in a post-secondary educational institution. Whether you need to pay for your classes or textbooks, or just to put food on the table this semester, it’s yours to do with as you please. All you have to do to be considered for the scholarship is write an essay, no more than 500 words in length, telling us where you see the future of the energy industry.

Notes:

• The scholarship funds must be used for some education-related expense, such as tuition, books, school fees, room and board, etc.
• The winner of the scholarship grants EnergyRates.Ca non-exclusive publication rights to their essay, so that we can feature their winning essay on our scholarship site.
• EnergyRates.Ca reserves the right to select a panel of judges and scoring methodology at its own discretion.

Many Canadian energy consumers in Alberta and Ontario overlook the fact that they have the opportunity to take advantage of low electricity prices and gas rates by signing up for plans offered by competitive electricity and natural gas companies. The problem is that it’s difficult to track down and compare the various prices currently available, let alone find clear and easy to understand explanations of the details of these various options.

At Energyrates.ca, we believe that consumers should have easy access to the information necessary for them to make informed energy choices. That is why we have taken the time to compile information about the energy plans and electricity and natural gas prices currently offered by the most popular energy retailers and regulated providers in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta.
