Supporting the next gen of clean energy professionals.
About the Trellis Fund
The Trellis Fund is a funding opportunity for students who self-identify as women and are studying to play a role in the clean energy transition in Canada.
Students are invited to apply for one of four annual $2500CDN grants in support of their education.
All fields of study will be considered: the trades, college or university, professional up-skilling and micro-credentials to pivot into the clean energy sector.
Clean energy equals low carbon, resilient energy systems that integrate renewable generation, energy storage, smart planning and energy efficiency.
Grants applications open annually on International Women's Day.
