About this Scholarship

Our scholarship committee will grant one $10,000 scholarship to exceptional students, preferably enrolled in an electrical, mechanical, civil or other engineering program focused on electrification including power generation, transmission, distribution, system protection, and/or renewables. Along with the scholarship, the student must be willing to accept a paid internship. We will determine the location of the internship by matching the interest of each student with an HDR office that offers a strong mentoring opportunity for a future HDR Power Market Sector professional. Housing and transportation are not provided for the internship.
