Florida Power & Light Company has announced 13 scholarships for students pursuing higher education or technical training, including three new workforce development scholarships introduced this year.

The expanded program includes three workforce development scholarships aimed at meeting the growing demand for skilled trades and technical professionals in Florida’s energy sector. The remaining 10 scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors who have participated in a SECME program and plan to pursue a STEM education.

“At FPL, we believe that investing in students is investing in Florida,” said Kate Cotner, director of community engagement for FPL. “These scholarships are one of the many ways we’re working to strengthen the talent pipeline, equipping the next generation of leaders and professionals with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving energy industry, right here in the communities we serve.”

The 10 SECME scholarships are available to high school seniors in FPL’s service area. The three workforce development scholarships are available to students enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited Florida college, university or technical school in FPL’s service territory.

Those include the FPL Trade and Technical Program, the FPL Workforce Ready Undergraduate Program and the FPL Workforce Ready Associates Program.

Applications opened April 27 and close May 25 at 3 p.m. EST. Winners will be announced June 13.
