How does the selection process work?

A selection committee comprised of Yukon Energy representatives will review applications. Evaluations will be based on the merits of the application and will consider leadership qualities, balanced lifestyle (i.e. community involvement, extra-curricular activities) and, for first year students, will also consider financial need.

The selection committee may require an interview with applicants. Failure to participate by phone or in person for an interview may result in scholarship ineligibility.

The proceedings of the selection committee are confidential and its decisions are final.
