High school seniors whose dream is to make a difference in the
world by majoring in science, technology, engineering or math
(STEM) are invited to apply for Edison International’s $1.2 million
Edison Scholars Program.
Edison International, the parent company of Southern California
Edison, is awarding $40,000 scholarships, paid over four years, to
30 high school students planning to major in STEM fields at
four-year accredited U.S. colleges and universities. Scholarship
applications are now being accepted through Dec. 1.
Applicants must live in SCE’s service territory and 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. Eligible students must also be
a high school senior, have at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA and
demonstrate financial need. Students from underserved communities
and ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply. Dependents of Edison
International and SCE employees and retirees are not eligible for
the Edison Scholars Program.
“Our Edison Scholars Program invests in students with big dreams
to help pay for their college studies in STEM,” said Pedro J.
Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “They will be
leaders at their colleges and universities, and in their
communities, and we hope that they may someday join our Edison team
as future interns and employees.”

Scholarship recipients will be announced next spring. They may
also be eligible for summer internships at SCE after completing
their second year of college.
Since 2006, Edison International has awarded more than $7.5
million in scholarships to 580 students’ higher education through
the Edison Scholars Program.
Edison International’s support of charitable causes, including
the Edison Scholars Program, is funded entirely by Edison
International shareholders. SCE customers’ utility bill payments do
not fund company donations.
