The Energy Workforce & Technology Council Scholarship Program has awarded $39,500 in scholarships to 66 students nationwide for the 2024-25 school year.
Since its inception, the scholarship program has awarded more than $4 million to help dependents of member companies attend institutions of higher learning, earn undergraduate and advanced degrees, and launch successful professional careers.
“The development of the next generation of leaders and innovators is a cornerstone of EWTC’s commitment to the energy industry,” said Energy Workforce President Molly Determan. “The EWTC scholarship is a longstanding program that aids the Energy Workforce in removing financial barriers to higher education for dependents of our member companies. As the industry continues to attract the next generation of talent, we are dedicated to fostering a skilled and knowledgeable workforce that will continue to drive advancement in the energy sector and beyond. We are proud to play a small role in these outstanding young individuals’ academic careers and look forward to seeing their impact as they advance their professional development.”
The scholarship program began in the 1970s to assist an employee, spouse, child or other legal dependent of an employee of an Energy Workforce Member Company, in completing higher education. The program, which is administered by Energy Workforce, offers students four years of assistance for college, graduate school or accredited vocational training.
Energy Workforce chapters, as well as the national organization, hold fundraising events to provide scholarships.
