Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) today announced it is taking
applications for its new E2: Energy to EducateSM Grant program (“E2
Grants”), which will provide funding for projects that enhance
student understanding of the science and technology needed to
address energy issues. Grant awards will be up to $25,000 for
projects involving students in grades six through 12 and up to
$50,000 for projects at two- and four-year colleges. Funds will be
provided by the Constellation Energy Foundation.
The E2 Grant program will target hands-on demonstration projects
that advance energy innovation and build on student knowledge and
application of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
The projects must align with at least one of three focus areas: the
basic science and engineering needed to address energy challenges;
new energy technologies entering the marketplace; and the expanding
role of information technology in how we efficiently manage and use
energy. The application deadline is Oct. 15.
“The E2 Grant program will help prepare students to address one
of their generation’s greatest challenges – making the transition
to a more secure, efficient and low-emissions energy system to
power both our buildings and our vehicles,” said Mayo A. Shattuck
III, chairman, president and chief executive officer of
Constellation Energy. “Achieving this outcome is essential to the
nation’s economic success and to the health of the communities in
which we live and work. The E2 Grant program furthers Constellation
Energy’s support for education and our efforts to build the energy
architecture of the future through investments in cleaner, smarter
and more integrated energy technologies.”
To qualify for an E2 Grant, a project should be located in an
area where Constellation Energy does business. Projects should be
team-oriented and reach a minimum of 100 students. Both two- and
four-year colleges and universities are eligible. Projects
involving students in grades six through 12 must include a minimum
of three partners, including at least one that is governed by a
board of directors and designated a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization.
Interested organizations can find additional project criteria
