Scholarship Program
Empowering Education in DeSoto
The Emerald Hill Energy Storage project team is committed to not only enhancing the DeSoto community's energy landscape, but also to empowering its next generation to lead in the renewable energy sector. As a part of this commitment, we have created a scholarship fund in collaboration with Concerned DeSoto Citizens that is available to area students planning to explore a career in renewable energy or STEM fields.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between education and industry, fostering academic and educational opportunities for DeSoto’s community. Renewable energy is a fast-growing industry that is on track for record-breaking technological deployment. This scholarship demonstrates Emerald Hill Energy Storage’s commitment to connecting the City’s youth to the abundant opportunities for good-paying jobs in the renewable energy industry.
