High school seniors whose dreams are to power the future and
make a difference through the study of science, technology,
engineering or math (STEM) are invited to apply for Edison
International’s $1.2 million Edison Scholars Program.
Each year, Edison International, the parent company of Southern
California Edison, awards $40,000 scholarships, paid over four
years, to 30 high school students who plan to major in designated
STEM fields at a four-year accredited U.S. college or university.
See the list of eligible STEM majors.
Scholarship applications are now being accepted through Dec. 16.

Applicants must live in SCE’s service area and plan to be a
full-time undergraduate student majoring in a STEM field. Eligible
students also must 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.
“These future leaders have the opportunity to change lives,
communities and perhaps even the world,” said Pedro Pizarro,
president and CEO of Edison International. “We are proud to help
talented students realize their academic dreams and support these
important STEM programs.”
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 an estimated $9.9
million in scholarships to 640 students 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.
