$50,000 STEM College Scholarships for High School Seniors
The Edison Scholars program recognizes students who want to be the makers of tomorrow — the dreamers, inventors, guardians and pioneers — those who dare to be great.
Edison International awards $50,000 college scholarships annually to 30 high school seniors to help them pursue their passion in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) and empower them to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
This is a chance for students with big dreams to advance their higher education goals and help shape California’s clean energy future.
Since 2006, Edison International has awarded more than $20 million in scholarships to 820 students — powering progress through education.
