Thirty-one (31) high school seniors will enroll in a four-year college/university, community college, and/or vocational school in Alabama this year with help from Energy Southeast and its Member cities/utilities through the 2025 Energy Southeast Scholarship Program.
Each of the 31 scholarship recipients will receive a $2,500 scholarship for a total of $80,000 awarded in this year’s program. Energy Southeast received 98 scholarship applications in the 2025 program.
Since 1992, Energy Southeast and its Members have provided over $3.5 million in scholarships to the graduating high school seniors who receive their electric service from Energy Southeast Members.
To be eligible for the Energy Southeast scholarships, a student’s family must receive electric service from an Energy Southeast Member city electric utility and the student must attend an Alabama college/university or vocational school.
“We take our role as a good corporate citizen seriously,” said Fred D. Clark, Jr., Energy Southeast President & CEO. “That’s why we, along with our Members, support education initiatives, like the Energy Southeast Scholarship Program, that contribute to making our state economically competitive. We congratulate this year’s scholarship winners.”
