Thirty high school seniors in Southern California Edison’s
service area have been named 2021 Edison Scholars and will be
awarded $1.2 million in scholarships by Edison International to
pursue science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) studies.
“The Edison Scholars class of 2021 is outstanding,” said Pedro
Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International. “They are
navigating school, leading organizations and securing internships,
often while balancing jobs. That’s difficult in any environment,
let alone a pandemic. We are so proud to help these students pursue
their STEM dreams.”
Each Edison Scholar will receive a $40,000 scholarship — paid
over four years — to further their academic pursuit of STEM fields
at a four-year accredited U.S. college or university.
