High school seniors driven to make a difference through science,
technology, engineering or math (STEM) still have time to apply for
Edison International’s $1.2 million Edison Scholars Program.
Each year, Edison International, the parent company of Southern
California Edison, helps students dream big and achieve their
academic goals by awarding $40,000 scholarships, paid over four
years, to 30 high school students planning to major in STEM fields
at four-year colleges and universities. Scholarship applications
are being accepted through Feb. 1.
Eligible students must live in or attend a public or private
high school in SCE’s service territory or attend an eligible high
school surrounding SCE’s San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Visit scholarsapply.org/edisonscholars for a list of designated
high schools.
Applicants must plan to be a full-time undergraduate student
majoring in one of the following STEM fields: mathematics,
engineering, computer and information services, management
information systems, natural resources and conservation and
physical sciences.
“Edison International funds educational programs and
scholarships because one of our priorities is helping to nurture
scholars of tomorrow,” said Tami Bui, SCE’s principal manager of
Corporate Philanthropy. “The Edison Scholars Program provides
financial support that lets students attend colleges and
universities they thought were out of reach, and allows them to
focus on their studies rather than worry about how they’re going to
pay for school.”
Since 2006, Edison International has financially supported 550
students’ higher education by giving out nearly $6.5 million in
scholarships.
Applicants must be a high school senior, have at least a
cumulative 3.0 GPA and demonstrate financial need. To apply and get
additional eligibility information, students are encouraged to
visit: scholarsapply.org/edisonscholars. Students from underserved
communities and ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply.
Scholarship recipients will be announced in April. Recipients
may also be eligible for summer internships at SCE after completing
their second year of college.
Edison International’s support of charitable causes, such as the
Edison Scholars Program, is funded entirely by Edison International
shareholders. SCE customers’ utility bill payments do not fund
company donations, and dependents of Edison International and SCE
employees are not eligible for the Edison Scholars Program.
