Cypress Creek Renewables Awards 2024 Scholarship to 81 Students
July 1, 2024 – Cypress Creek Renewables is pleased to announce that 81 students across 21 counties were selected to receive a 2024 Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship award.
Each student was awarded a one-time $1,000 scholarship to use towards tuition, housing, books or materials for their program of study. As part of the application process, the students were asked to submit a short video responding to the question, “How does renewable energy affect your future?”
“The applications and videos submitted by this year’s Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders awardees were inspiring,” said Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek. “We were impressed by what these students have already accomplished and know that they have bright futures ahead.”
The Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program was launched in 2023 to positively impact young people in the communities where Cypress Creek develops and operates solar and battery storage projects, as well as to encourage students to consider careers in renewable energy or other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields.
The scholarship awardees’ video submissions are viewable at cypresscreekenergy.com/scholarships.
