NextGen Energy Professionals Awards
Each year, the Educational Foundation of the Electrical Association of Philadelphia proudly awards $500 scholarships to exceptional students enrolled in regional Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs focused on Electrical and HVAC trades.
These tax-deductible awards are presented during each school’s annual awards night and are designed to help students take the next step toward a successful career in the energy industry. Recipients are selected by their instructors based on classroom performance, work ethic, and potential to excel in the field.
Through this program, we’re investing in the future of the energy trades—one student at a time.
