TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2020 /CNW/ - Today, Hydro One kicked off
its annual One Awards scholarship program, which awards
scholarships to women, and Black and Indigenous students enrolled
at an Ontario college or

support their education and the opportunity to complete a paid
work-term at Hydro One.
The scholarships are part of Hydro One's commitment and plans to
diversify its workforce and build a more sustainable company. To
date, Hydro One has supported more than 200 students through its
One Awards scholarship program.
"Supporting aspiring professionals while building a more diverse
and inclusive workforce that represents the communities in which we
work and serve, is critical to our success as a sustainable
company," said Farah Alexis, Vice
President of Talent Management at Hydro One. "We can build a better
and brighter future when we support Ontario students and recognize their hard work
and leadership while they pursue their educational goals."
Under the company's One Awards scholarship program, students can
apply beginning today to one of three categories: the Women in
Engineering Award, The William Peyton Hubbard Award for Black
students, and the Leonard S. (Tony)
Mandamin Award for Indigenous students. Scholarships are
awarded to outstanding students who have demonstrated leadership
skills and have given back to their community or are involved
extracurricular activities.
Winners of the William Peyton Hubbard and Women in Engineering
Award will receive $5,000 and the
opportunity to complete a paid developmental work-term at Hydro
One. Hydro One has leveraged additional support through a
partnership with Indspire and each Leonard
