Constellation invites applications for E2 Energy to Educate grants program

Constellation invites applications for its E2 Energy to Educate grants program, which provides funding for student projects focusing on energy innovation.

Through the program, grants will be awarded in support of projects that will reach at least 100 students and are aligned with the following energy innovation themes:

Access in Energy: How can we empower and engage underrepresented groups in the energy sector and inspire students from all socioeconomic groups to pursue STEM and energy careers? Projects should showcase effective strategies to support increased access to good-paying careers in the energy industry and to deliver clean energy solutions to underserved and underrepresented communities. Projects may also address how they can advance environmental justice and economic inclusion in the energy transition.

Sustainability Amidst Growing Energy Needs: As global energy consumption rises, the quest for sustainable solutions becomes increasingly critical. Innovations in electrification, transportation, and AI are poised to revolutionize energy usage in homes and communities and can help address climate change. Projects show the enhancement of existing products or new technologies for a cleaner energy future and how we can pave the way for a more sustainable world through decarbonization and energy-efficient choices. Projects may also showcase AI as a pivotal ally in both pioneering new advancements and refining existing technologies.

Nuclear Technology & Clean Energy: How can we harness the power of nuclear technology and other forms of zero-carbon generation to address the climate crisis using innovative and cutting-edge solutions such as advanced nuclear, zero-carbon energy generation systems and smart energy storage devices? Projects should show how they can create positive impacts for society, economy and environment and how they can collaborate with various stakeholders, such as businesses, schools, governments and communities, to scale solutions and pilot programs.

The program will award grants of up to $25,000 for grades 6-12 and up to $50,000 for two- and four-year colleges and universities.
