Edison International Public Scholarship (Visit this link)

The Edison International Public Scholarship rewards public high school students who show potential for a successful college career and have a financial need. The scholarship is part of Edison’s 45-year tradition of investing in the future by making the dream of a college education a reality for deserving students.

Up to 30 awards will be granted each year, and awards are for undergraduate study only.
Award renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and continued full-time enrollment in one of the designated fields of study at one of the eligible colleges or universities, and continuation of the program by Edison International.
