Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship

Each student was awarded a one-time $1,000 scholarship to use towards tuition, housing, books or materials for their program of study. 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 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.
