Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate an interest in a career in the renewable energy industry or a STEM-related field, but all eligible students are welcome to apply. Should the student not enroll in a college or certificate program in fall 2025, the scholarship will be forfeited.

Proof of enrollment will be required prior to fund disbursal. Scholarships will be paid directly to the college or university- there are no exceptions to this method of disbursal. Should the Energizing Tomorrow's Leaders scholarship impact another scholarship, the student can elect to forfeit the scholarship or proceed with the method of disbursal outlined above. 

The scholarship program is open to students within the boundaries of one of the eligible counties who are attending public, charter, or private high schools; or who are home-schooled.
