The PG&E Corporation Foundation is inviting applicants for its annual Better Together STEM Scholarship Program for students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math disciplines, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company announced.
In a press release, officials explained that “the PG&E Foundation will provide $350,000 in total funding for 60 scholarships in the amounts of $10,000, $5,000 and $2,500 awards for eligible students, (noting that) Better Together STEM Scholarships are designed to give the next generation of Californians an opportunity to learn and succeed in higher education and support students who have made an impact in their community or who have overcome personal challenges.”
“For more than a decade, The PG&E Corporation Foundation has had the honor of helping students pursue careers as scientists, engineers and innovators powering California’s clean energy progress and future. It is our privilege to play a part in helping these young people grow and succeed in their academic and professional endeavors,” Carla Peterman, PG&E Corporation Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer, and Chair of the Board of The Foundation, is quoted as saying in the release.
The release also explains that:
Since 2012, the Better Together STEM Scholarship Program has awarded $7.45 million to accomplished students based on a combined demonstration of community leadership, personal triumph, financial need and academic achievement. In 2022, responding to a trend in applications from students admitted to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), eligibility expanded to students planning to attend HBCUs anywhere in the United States, in addition to California colleges and universities. In 2023, the PG&E Foundation added a new $5,000 scholarship that expanded the program to 20 additional students — up from 40 to 60 student recipients.Interested applicants can learn more and apply here: www.pge.com/en/about/educational-resources/grants-and-scholarships.html
