"A college education is one key path to a successful career. This will help reduce the financial hurdle," said Robert M. Blue, Dominion Energy's chair, president and chief executive officer. "All students should have access to a quality education and the many doors a college degree opens."

These scholarships are the first in a six-year, $10 million initiative to provide assistance with higher education expenses. The inaugural class is comprised of students hailing from eight states. Seventeen students enrolled in two-year schools will receive $5,000 each. Forty-three students enrolled in four-year schools will receive $10,000 each. Scholarship recipients will be able to renew scholarships as they progress in school, provided they meet certain criteria, such as GPA requirements and residence in an eligible state. The program is administered by Scholarship America, a nonprofit that specializes in management of scholarship and tuition assistance programs.

"Due to this scholarship, I am privileged enough to continue my academic endeavors. This scholarship makes me feel proud of my perseverance throughout high school and rewards my efforts tenfold,” said scholarship recipient Cecilia Chavez. “To my family, this scholarship means the out-of-pocket expenses for school next year are lowered. It’s humbling to know big companies care about future scholars in their communities and I could not be more grateful to Dominion Energy.”

Another $9.5 million in Dominion Energy Educational Equity Scholarships will be awarded over the next five years. Dominion Energy also committed $25 million to 11 historically Black colleges and universities in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The six-year HBCU PromiseSM program will support endowments, capital projects, operating expenses and educational programs in clean energy.
