Rittal Systems Ltd., Canada is offering two scholarships of $1,750 each to female undergraduate students who are looking to start their career in the electrical industry (or a related industry). Rittal is offering these scholarships as part of the Electro-Federation Canada Scholarship Program, which provides funding to university and college students that are interested in pursuing a career in the electrical industry.
