The Edison Scholars Program recognizes students who want to be makers of tomorrow — the dreamers, inventors, guardians and pioneers — those who dare to be great.

Each year, Edison International awards $40,000 college scholarships to 30 high school seniors to help them follow their dreams in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) and empower them to change the world.

This is a chance for students with big dreams to advance their education and take part in shaping a brighter future.

Here’s the rundown of requirements:

• Must be a high school senior with at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA, plan to pursue studies in the STEM fields at a four-year accredited college or university and show financial need.
• Eligible STEM majors include computer and information systems, engineering, engineering technology, management information systems, mathematics, natural resources and conservation and physical sciences.
• Applicants must live in Southern California Edison’s service territory.
• The top 50 finalists will be required to submit a short video. Don’t stress, it’s simple.
• Dependents of Edison International and SCE employees and retirees are not eligible.

The application period for the 2020 Edison Scholars is now open! Deadline to apply is 6 p.m. PST on Monday, Dec. 16.
