College Scholarships for Students in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM)
Through our $1.2 million Edison Scholars Program, we’re helping high school seniors with a passion for science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) achieve their academic goals.
Edison Scholars is designed to help minority, low-income and under-represented students in our service area pay for college studies in STEM fields, helping them develop skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the workforce of the future.
Since 2006, Edison International has helped 580 students dream big and experience a successful college career by giving out nearly $7.7 million in scholarships.
Higher education can transform lives. We're committed to helping young people build better lives—and bright futures—through careers in STEM fields.
