Powering Up.org: Empowering Pathways Into Energy Scholarship
The energy field is facing a shortage of 100,000 skilled tradespeople in the near future. Powering Up is dedicated to fortifying this workforce, recognizing the urgent need for skilled professionals to navigate the challenges of tomorrow's energy landscape.
Encouraging diversity within this workforce is of the utmost importance. Investing in the education and training of underrepresented groups in these areas is critical to developing a robust, diverse, and skilled workforce ready to tackle the energy challenges of the 21st century.
This scholarship is for individuals interested in technical careers in the broad world of energy—from those who seek to support the maintenance of safe and clean fossil fuel based energy sources, to technicians for new renewable technologies.
Any high school student who plans to pursue a technical or two-year degree in the energy field may apply for this scholarship; underrepresented minorities are highly encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us about yourself and why you’re interested in the energy workforce.
Please tell us a bit about yourself and why you are interested in entering the energy workforce.
