High seniors will get the opportunity to earn a renewable energy scholarship through a program established by SOLV Energy. The company is accepting applications for the PowerUp! Renewable Energy Scholarship, which is now in its third year.
The PowerUp! Scholarship will award $1,500 to six U.S. high school seniors. To be considered, students are asked to demonstrate their passion for sustainability and share how they will apply their future education in a career related to clean energy.
SOLV Energy engages with project partners, local leaders, school districts, and landowners to expand access to reliable, clean energy resources and STEAM learning opportunities for K-12 students. SOLV Energy will collaborate with industry professionals from Arevon, Groundwork Renewables, and Nextracker to review 2025 PowerUp! Scholarship applications and select awardees.
“As our industry grows, it’s critical to highlight the diversity of careers within renewable industries, and this year’s panel of PowerUp! judges reflects the range of opportunities available in clean energy,” says George Hershman, CEO of SOLV Energy. “We are excited to offer the PowerUp! Scholarship for a third year and look forward to hearing from the next generation of leaders.”
SOLV Energy will reserve one of the 2025 scholarships for an Indigenous high school senior to continue advocating for the greater representation and visibility of Native communities.
The scholarship program is based on the following criteria:
- Minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
- Letter of enrollment to a trade school, community college or four-year university for fall 2025.
- Official transcript copy.
- Two letters of recommendation.
- Personal essay.
- Certificate of Indian Birth (if applicable).
The deadline to submit applications is May 16. Full eligibility requirements and submission instructions can be found on SOLV Energy’s website.
