Our future energy system will only be as strong as the workforce that designs, builds, maintains and modernizes it. That future energy workforce will be comprised of people with skills and knowledge gained through a variety of education and training programs. But program costs can keep people interested in energy careers from pursuing or completing those programs.

Explore the map below to identify scholarship programs at both national and state levels to help you power your energy career journey. Be sure to check the eligibility criteria to see if a scholarship program applies to you, as programs have specific eligibility criteria. All of the scholarships here are connected to energy, including those that are specifically for energy-related subjects and/or scholarships that are funded by energy companies and their associated foundations.

Additional Tips for Finding a Scholarship

  • Check with your local utility provider to learn of scholarships that are specific to your region. Utilities often fund scholarships to support students who reside in their service territories and for families that are their customers.
  • Browse sites that aggregate scholarship opportunities, including Scholarship America, UNCF Scholarships, CollegeBoard’s Big Future Scholarship Directory, and Kaleidoscope.
