Laura Ulluriaq Gauthier Scholarship Award
QEC’s Laura Ulluriaq Gauthier Scholarship is awarded to a remarkable Nunavummiut pursuing post-secondary education. Laura Ulluriaq Gauthier was a visionary who recognized the importance of a locally managed electrical utility for Nunavut. Presented annually, the $5,000 scholarship honours Ms. Gauthier’s foresight, achievements, and sense of community. In 2024 QEC increased the number of scholarship awards from one to two recipients to reiterate its contribution to supporting career development opportunities within Nunavut’s communities. Each $5,000 award supports promising Nunavut students enrolled in post-secondary education while commemorating Laura Ulluriaq Gauthier. One of the two scholarships will be awarded to an engineering student, as engineering is a career field in demand at QEC.
