(St. Thomas, Ontario) – Fanshawe College and Enbridge are proud to announce the Renewable Energies Scholarship in support of students enrolled in the Renewable Energies Technician diploma program at the College’s St. Thomas/Elgin Regional Campus.
“Enbridge recognizes students who have demonstrated leadership and have excelled academically in Fanshawe College’s Renewable Energies Technician program,” says Ian MacRobbie, Enbridge’s General Manager of Green Power & Transmission. “Renewable energy is fundamental to a low-carbon economy, and having the right people with the right skills and education in this sector is key. This scholarship was created to help ensure that happens.”
Announcing the scholarship comes at an exciting time as 43 students are enrolled in the Renewable Energies program this fall – nearly twice the number from previous years. To help address the need for skilled technicians, particularly in the wind and solar energy sectors, Enbridge and Fanshawe collaborated to recognize and support students studying in these fields.
“We are very pleased that Enbridge has chosen to launch this new scholarship to encourage and support our students,” stated Ross Fair, chair of the St. Thomas/Elgin Regional Campus. “Last year, Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) recognized the Renewable Energies Technician program as one of the most innovative offerings in the country. Now, it’s exciting to witness the growth in enrolment and to see powerhouse companies like Enbridge invest in the program. We are very grateful to our industry partners who recognize the potential in our students.”
The first recipients of the Enbridge Renewable Energies Scholarship will be announced in spring 2017.
