Energy Workforce & Technology Council Grants 39 Scholarships

Scholarship funding totaling $39,000 has been awarded to 39 students attending more than 28 different colleges and universities across the United States. The funding has been granted through the Energy Workforce & Technology Council Scholarship Program.

Since its inception, the program has awarded more than $4 million to help dependents of association members attend institutions of higher learning, earning undergraduate and advanced degrees, and launch successful professional careers.

“We are committed to helping develop the future leaders, innovators, and workforce of our nation, and through these scholarships, Energy Workforce Member dependents have the opportunity to forward their education,” said Leslie Beyer, CEO, Energy Workforce & Technology Council.

“It is an honor to offer these scholarships, which is made possible due to the hard work and dedication of our Member Companies, the chapters, and all those who contribute to these fundraising events.”

The scholarship program began in the 1970s to assist children of Member Companies 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.
