The William Peyton Hubbard Award

Hydro One sponsors two annual awards for outstanding black students attending an Ontario college or university.

In addition to a cash award, the William Peyton Hubbard Memorial Award winners are given an opportunity to obtain a paid position performing developmental work with Hydro One.
