Northern, central California STEM students invited to compete
The Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation Foundation invites applications for its annual Better Together STEM Scholarship Program for students pursuing science, technology, engineering and math studies.
The foundation will provide a total of $350,000 in funding for 60 scholarships in the amounts of $10,000, $5,000 and $2,500 awards for eligible students.
Better Together STEM Scholarships give the next generation of Californians an opportunity to learn and succeed in higher education. It supports students who have made an impact in their communities or who have overcome personal challenges.
“For more than a decade, the PG&E Corporation Foundation has had the honor of helping students pursue careers as scientists, engineers and innovators powering California’s clean energy progress and future. It is our privilege to play a part in helping these young people grow and succeed in their academic and professional endeavors,” said Carla Peterman, PG&E Corporation executive vice president, corporate affairs and chief sustainability officer, and chair of the foundation’s board.
In 2023, The PG&E Foundation added a new $5,000 scholarship that expanded the program to 20 additional students — up from 40 to 60 student recipients. In 2022, responding to a trend in applications from students admitted to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, eligibility expanded to students planning to attend HBCUs anywhere in the United States, in addition to California colleges and universities.
Interested applicants can learn more and apply here. The application deadline is March 14. Scholarships will be awarded by August.
Scholarships will be awarded based on academic achievement, demonstrated participation and leadership in school and community activities, and financial need. Students must pursue qualifying degrees in STEM disciplines, including engineering, computer science/information systems, cybersecurity, environmental sciences, math and physics.
To be eligible, students must meet the following criteria:
In addition to the Better Together STEM Scholarship Program, PG&E’s 11 employee resource groups and two engineering networking groups will award scholarships to help offset the cost of higher education. The funds are raised entirely through coworker donations, coworker fundraising events and the company’s coworker giving program. To apply, visit the website here.
