PG&E's Employee Resource/Engineering Groups Also Offering College Scholarships for Combined Total of $500,000 to be Awarded
OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The PG&E Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation) is inviting applicants for its annual Better Together STEM Scholarship Program for students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines.
The PG&E Foundation will provide $350,000 in total funding for 60 scholarships in the amounts of $10,000, $5,000 and $2,500 awards for eligible students.
Better Together STEM Scholarships are designed to give the next generation of Californians an opportunity to learn and succeed in higher education and support students who have made an impact in their community or who have overcome personal challenges.
"The PG&E Corporation Foundation is honored to help students as they pursue their dreams of becoming future scientists, innovators and engineers who give back to our state and communities and lay the critical building blocks for our clean energy future. For more than 10 years, we've been assisting students and their families who may be struggling to afford the cost of higher education — and there is no greater pride than seeing our young people blossom and thrive in their academic endeavors," said Carla Peterman, PG&E Corporation Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer, and Chair of the Board of The Foundation.
The Better Together STEM Scholarship program continues to help lessen the financial burden of attending college for even more students and their families. Last year, The PG&E Foundation added a new $5,000 scholarship that grew the scholarships' reach to 20 additional students — up from 40 to 60 students.
In 2022, responding to a trend in applications from students admitted to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), eligibility expanded to students planning to attend HBCUs anywhere in the United States, in addition to California colleges and universities.
Since 2012, the Better Together STEM Scholarship Program has awarded $7.1 million to accomplished students based on a combined demonstration of community leadership, personal triumph, financial need and academic achievement. Watch this video featuring some of last year's winners.
