    The Chris Huskilson Emera Scholarship | 2026

    Chris Huskilson played a key role in shaping the culture and inspiring the vision of Emera. After nearly 40 years, with 14 years as Emera's President & Chief Executive Officer, Chris Huskilson retired in 2018. To honor his entrepreneurial spirit, business accomplishments, and commitment to the region and our future leaders, Emera established the Chris Huskilson Emera Scholarship valued at $40,000.

    Each year an Atlantic Canadian student attending an Atlantic Canadian University in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, or Math, will receive $10,000 per year for the duration of their studies with a maximum of four years. The recipient will also receive the opportunity to complete a paid, 12-week internship and mentorship from a mentor from one of Emera's companies.

    Emera strives to be an employer of choice everywhere we work. Developing local talent strengthens our team and helps develop the big thinkers of tomorrow. Emera continues to focus on safely delivering cleaner, reliable energy at a pace that minimizes the cost impacts for customers.
