Cypress Creek Renewables Awards $115,000 in Scholarships to Graduating Seniors
Durham, North Carolina, July 10, 2025 – Cypress Creek Renewables is pleased to announce that $115,000 in scholarships were awarded through the 2025 Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship program.
The one-time $2,500 scholarships were awarded to more than 45 students across 25 counties to use towards tuition, housing, books or materials for their post-graduation program of choice. As part of the application process, the students were asked to submit a short video responding to the question, “How does renewable energy affect your future?”
“The applications submitted by this year’s awardees showcased not only academic excellence but also remarkable creativity and passion,” said Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek. “We are incredibly proud to recognize these outstanding students and have no doubt their futures are bright.”
The Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program was launched in 2023 to positively impact young people in the communities where Cypress Creek develops and operates solar and battery storage projects, as well as to encourage students to consider careers in renewable energy or other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields. Cypress Creek was proud to continue to expand the program for a greater impact this year.
