NextEra recently announced a scholarship program specifically for Native students in partnership with the American Indian Graduate Center (AIGC). The NextEra Energy Scholarship Program will provide 15 scholarships, each valued at $5,000 per year, for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in the fields of energy, environment, and cultural sustainability and preservation.  

With this scholarship program, NextEra hopes to support Native students in their ongoing studies and to recognize the work of tribes that collaborate with us on our renewable energy projects.  To that end, we would greatly appreciate any help you can provide in identifying students or programs within your Tribe that may be interested in this program. We are very excited about this scholarship program and want to connect with as many Native students as possible. 

  The application period for the first round of scholarships opens on January 1, 2022 and will be available through the AIGC website: www.AIGCS.org.  A press release about the scholarship program is available here: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/american-indian-graduate-center-unveils-nextera-energy-scholarship-program-301407728.html.
