Each year, Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison, awards $40,000 scholarships, paid over four years, to 30 high school students who plan to major in designated STEM fields at a four-year accredited U.S. college or university. See the [list of eligible STEM majors](https://apply.scholarsapply.org/uploads/EDISON/Majors.pdf). Scholarship applications are now being accepted through Dec. 16. To apply and obtain additional eligibility information, visit: [edisonscholars.com](http://www.edisonscholars.com/). Applicants must live in [SCE’s service area](https://www.sce.com/about-us/who-we-are/leadership/our-service-territory) and plan to be a full-time undergraduate student majoring in a STEM field. Eligible students also must be a high school senior, have at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA and demonstrate financial need. Students from underserved communities and ethnic minorities are encouraged to apply. Dependents of Edison International and SCE employees and retirees are not eligible for the Edison Scholars Program. “These future leaders have the opportunity to change lives, communities and perhaps even the world,” said Pedro Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “We are proud to help talented students realize their academic dreams and support these important STEM programs.” Scholarship recipients will be announced next spring. They may also be [eligible for summer internships](http://insideedison.com/stories/video-edison-scholars-navigate-the-real-world-as-interns) at SCE after completing their second year of college.
