General Scholarship &
B. Hanson Leadership Award

This year, the Society of Petroleum Engineers Canadian Educational Foundation will be awarding several scholarships to students across Canada pursuing a degree or diploma with the intentions to enter the Energy Industry upon graduation. These scholarships are open to students studying at all institutions in Canada. SPECEF will be awarding multiple scholarships to highly qualified students. 

​

All scholarship applicants must be enrolled full-time in any diploma or degree program with an interest in the energy industry to be eligible. The scholarship is open to global citizens; applicants are NOT required to be Canadian citizens nor permanent residents to apply. However, we unfortunately cannot award the scholarship to a citizen from a U.S. sanctioned country. Find out more here. 

​

This year’s deadline for applications is January 15, 2024. Applications are now closed.

​

Submissions here will also be considered for the inaugural B. Hanson Leadership Award. 

The Barry Hanson Leadership Award was created to honour the involvement of one of the founding members of SPECEF. His involvement in the society spans 35 years, as of 2020 and his commitment to the society was one of passion and dedication. This award will be given to an engineering student enrolled in a Canadian University who has shown outstanding commitment to providing revolutionary leadership in their community and/or school. 

​

Scholarship recipients will be selected by a committee through a competitive process. Students submitting applications for scholarships must meet the following requirements:
