The PG&E Corporation Foundation awarded $327,500 in scholarships to 57 students pursuing STEM degrees at California colleges & HBCUs nationwide.
Scholarships granted range from $2,500 to $10,000 to support students in Pacific Gas and Electric Company's service area.
Since 2012, the Better Together STEM Scholarship Program has awarded nearly $8 million, funded by PG&E shareholders without recovery through customer rates.
Recipients such as Quennel Kempe ($5,000) & Caden Kelly ($2,500) of UC Berkeley cited financial relief & community confidence as key benefits.
Eligibility requires full-time undergraduate enrollment in the 2026-2027 academic year, pursuit of a first degree at an accredited California four-year institution, & demonstrated academic achievement, leadership, & financial need.
HBCU eligibility was recently added to support applicants attending historically Black colleges outside California.
