The Program
We are committed to building mutually-beneficial relationships with Canada’s Indigenous communities. As part of this commitment, we award scholarships to Indigenous students to help develop their skills and knowledge in the clean energy sector. Through our Aboriginal Clean Energy Scholarship, we award up to $3,000 (per scholarship) annually to Indigenous students pursuing post-secondary education. Successful candidates have an opportunity to partner with a BluEarth employee who will act as a mentor throughout their academic year.
