Davidson County students interested in renewable energy and STEM eligible to apply for scholarships

Davidson County high school seniors interested in renewable energy and STEM-related careers are eligible to apply for scholarships as the county was again chosen for Cypress Creek Renewables’ Scholarship Program.

Cypress Creek Renewables is pleased to announce the expansion of its Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program. 

After awarding scholarships to 35 students across seven counties in 2023, including seven students from Davidson County, North Carolina, the program is being expanded significantly for 2024 to students in 27 counties. 

Davidson County students will again be eligible to apply for the scholarship.

The renewable energy company will be awarding $1,000, one-time scholarships to up to 135

graduating high school seniors across the United States who have an interest in renewable energy or STEM-related careers.

“The Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program was a great success in 2023 and gave us the opportunity to make a positive impact in communities where we are developing and operating solar projects,” Sarah Slusser, Chief Executive Officer of Cypress Creek said. “We are so excited to be able to expand our scope this year to impact even more of the bright young people who are the future of clean energy.”

Five graduating seniors attending schools in Davidson County will be selected this year and awarded $1,000 each to use for tuition, housing, or books and materials needed for their program of study.

Students pursuing a 4-year, 2-year, or certificate program at an accredited university or college are eligible.
