A total of 30 high school seniors across Southern California Edison (SCE) have been named 2015 Edison Scholars and each will receive a $40,000 scholarship from Edison International, the parent company of SCE. As an energy company, Edison International and SCE recognize the skills needed for its future workforce and the country, and focus its educational funding on programs that prepare students to excel in the science, technology, engineering or math fields, also known as STEM. The graduating scholars, who live in or attend public or private high school in SCE’s service territory, plan to pursue college studies in the STEM fields. Under the $1.2 million Edison Scholars Program, each Edison Scholar will be awarded a $40,000 scholarship paid over four years. Recipients may also be eligible for summer internships at SCE after completing their second year of college. Dependents of Edison International employees are not eligible for the Edison Scholars Program. Since 2006, Edison International has awarded more than $5.3 million in scholarships to 490 students. Edison International’s support of charitable causes is funded entirely by Edison International shareholders and SCE customers’ utility bill payments do not fund company donations.
