More than 180,000 students nationwide have
benefitted from the STEM grant program since its inception in
2010
Constellation, an Exelon company, is accepting applications for
its 2019 E2 Energy to Educate grant program, which provides funding
for student research projects focusing on energy innovation.
Students in grades 6-12 can apply for program grants up to $25,000,
and students in two- and four-year colleges can apply for grants up
to $50,000. The deadline for applications is Oct. 1, 2019.
“It’s imperative that we do our part to support and encourage
the next generation of energy industry leaders. Signature programs
such as Energy to Educate do just that,” said Jorge Acevedo, senior
vice president, Innovation and Strategy for Constellation. “To
date, we’ve provided more than $3.4 million for research and
education programs that have fueled the exploration into STEM
fields for more than 180,000 students.”
In 2018, Energy to Educate awarded more than $450,000 across 20
projects and reached more than 18,000 students nationwide. Projects
included solar car competitions, fuel cell technology, energy
storage, wind power, and teaching energy concepts via an
interactive gaming platform.
Dr. Roberto Ramos runs the Physics Girls Wonder Camp hosted at
University of the Sciences. As a result of 2018 E2 funding,
students at the camp were able to conduct experiments using liquid
nitrogen, build and race solar boats, and learn how to present
scientific data.
“Without the support of Constellation’s E2 Energy to Educate
program we would not have been able to run the Physics Girls Wonder
Camp,” Ramos said. “These grant dollars help us to sustain and
cultivate interest in the sciences for middle school girls and
inspire them to pursue careers in STEM fields.”
To be eligible for funding, a project must be team-oriented,
reach a minimum of 100 students, and align with the following
energy innovation themes:
- Smart Home: How will new technologies and artificial
intelligence transform our home energy usage in the future? More
and more, homes are generating their own electricity and
interactive technology is becoming a part of our daily lives.
- Electrification: What will the future of transportation
look like? New technologies can power us into a cleaner energy
future via electrification.
- Clean Energy & Zero Waste: How do we understand
which energy sources and choices will have the greatest impact on
our collective and individual carbon footprint? What if we could
harness and store energy that would otherwise be wasted? The
recycling & storage movement is catching on in energy thanks to
innovative technologies.
Exelon companies, together with Constellation, contributed more
than $51 million to nonprofits in 2018 supporting education, the
environment, culture and arts, and community development.
Grant recipients are announced each year during American
Education Week. To learn more about the program and application
