High school seniors who have their sights set on becoming
engineers and plan to study science, technology, engineering or
math (STEM) in college still have time to apply for Edison
International’s $1.2 million Edison Scholars Program.
The deadline is Feb. 1.
Each year, Edison International, the parent company of Southern
California Edison, awards 30 high school students in SCE’s service
territory a $40,000 scholarship paid over four years. Since 2006,
Edison International has awarded $5.3 million in scholarships to
520 Edison Scholars.
“We strongly encourage high school seniors from SCE’s service
area who will be pursuing STEM studies in college to apply for the
Edison Scholarship,” said Tammy Tumbling, SCE’s director of
Philanthropy and Community Investment. “We know that the costs
associated with STEM education are high and can be a deterrent for
underserved, low-income students. That’s why we offer 30
scholarships — so we can help a greater number of students realize
their dreams.”
Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA or above and either live in or
attend public or private high schools in SCE’s service area. High
school seniors must demonstrate financial need and plan to be a
full-time undergraduate student majoring in electrical engineering,
mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering,
industrial engineering, computer sciences/info system,
environmental engineering or environmental sciences at a four-year
college or university.
Students from underserved communities and ethnic minorities are
especially encouraged to apply.
To apply and get additional eligibility information, students
are encouraged to go to: scholarsapply.org/edisonscholars.
Scholarship recipients will be announced in April. Edison
Scholars 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. In addition, dependents of Edison International
employees are not eligible for the Edison Scholars Program.
