What is Energy Creates

Full tuition Scholarships For Every Student.

Energy Creates invites students ages 15 to 25, in Canada and abroad, to explore Canada’s energy story through creativity. Conventional energy. Renewables. Emerging technology. Environment. Communities. Jobs. Innovation. Canada’s energy future. Whatever part of the story speaks to you, and whatever your perspective, we want to see it.

Five winners take home full tuition scholarships to study what they love. No essays. No transcripts. Just your work.
