Scholarship Description

Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation and we need young people of all backgrounds to become leaders in the equitable transition to clean energy. The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of Young Professionals in Energy (YPE) created its Scholarship Program to motivate the next generation of energy leaders and to create pathways for students to envision and realize successful careers in the clean economy. In addition to funding, YPE will provide opportunities for mentorship from our membership, admission to a high-profile YPE event, and invitations to other networking events to meet professionals in the group.

Eligible candidates must be enrolled at least part-time at a 2- or 4-year college or university for the fall of the school year the scholarship is awarded and have an interest in entering the energy/climate space. Eligible candidates must attend an educational institution located in Northern California, but can be taking coursework from anywhere remotely. All majors and fields of study are welcome to apply. Eligible candidates should be able to provide documentation of: 1) demonstrated financial need and 2) active academic enrollment at their educational institution. Students from underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Scholarship applications must be submitted through our website. The application requires two essays (up to 500 words each), an unofficial transcript, and documentation demonstrating financial need (e.g. FAFSA Student Aid Report).
