Applications Open for Energy Scholarships

Students can now apply for the Pengrowth-Nova Scotia Energy Scholarship, which helps them pursue careers in Nova Scotia’s energy sector.

“We want more young Nova Scotians to stay here and build successful careers in our energy sector,” said Energy and Mines Minister Derek Mombourquette. “Their ideas will become Nova Scotia’s innovations, and together we will move toward a more prosperous and cleaner energy future.”

Eight university students will receive scholarships valued at $2,500 per year for four years. Eight other students enrolled in trades and technology programs at the Nova Scotia Community College will be awarded a one-time scholarship of $2,500.

Pengrowth Energy Corporation, Pengrowth Management Limited and the province have together invested more than $4.8 million to give students the opportunity to pursue their passions in the energy sector. Since 2005, about 265 scholarships have been awarded.

Scholarship recipients are chosen based on academic standing, community involvement and interest in the Nova Scotia energy industry.

Applications will be accepted until May 3. For more information visit https://energy.novascotia.ca/career-development/scholarship-program .
