Company is accepting applications for student
projects focusing on energy innovation
Constellation, an Exelon company, is accepting applications for
its 2017 E2 Energy to Educate grant program, which provides funding
for student research projects focusing on energy innovation.
Students in grades six through 12 can apply for program grants up
to $25,000, and students in two- and four-year colleges can apply
for grants up to $50,000. The deadline for applications is Oct. 1,
2017.
“As technology continues to transform our industry, we feel
strongly about the importance of preparing a new generation for the
energy opportunities and challenges that lie ahead,” said Mike
Smith vice president, Exelon Generation, Innovation and Strategy
Development. “Through Energy to Educate, we’ve provided more than
$2.6 million for research and education programs that help to
inspire students and build the science, math and technology skills
they need to be successful in any career.”
In 2016, Constellation’s Energy to Educate grant program awarded
nearly $400,000 to 17 projects and reached more than 35,000
students nationwide. Projects included installing luminescent solar
concentrators, building electric vehicles, designing wind turbines,
testing fuel cells and evaluating energy storage technologies.
To be eligible for funding, a project must be team-oriented,
reach a minimum of 100 students and align with the following energy
innovation themes:
- Energy in Transportation: From electric
vehicles to compressed natural gas, how will new technologies fuel
the future?
- Backyard Generation: In what ways can
on-site energy generation improve efficiency and resilience?
- Energy Recycling: What if we could
harness and reuse energy that would otherwise be wasted?
Constellation’s focus on energy education aligns with its parent
company, Exelon, which was named among the nation’s 50 most
community-mind companies by Points of Light. Exelon companies,
together with Constellation, contributed more than $46 million to
nonprofits in 2016 supporting education, the environment, culture
and arts and community development.
Grant recipients are announced each year during American
Education Week. To learn more about the program and application
