DP&L and Vectren Offering Scholarships for High School Seniors Interested in Careers in Energy

The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), and Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (Vectren) are offering three scholarships to high school seniors planning to work in the energy industry.

The scholarships, in the amount of $1,000 each, will be granted for college tuition and expenses to deserving students who demonstrate outstanding energy knowledge and leadership, and an interest in continuing their energy studies by pursuing an energy-related career.

The scholarships will be facilitated by the Ohio Energy Project, a non-profit energy education organization that also works with DP&L and Vectren on their energy efficiency programs and activities, including the annual Energy Fair. The Energy Fair, which will be held March 6 at the University of Dayton, allows high school students to teach younger students about energy efficiency through hands-on experiments and games.

Students applying for the scholarships must be graduating seniors, residents of DP&L or Vectren’s service territories and members of families who are DP&L or Vectren customers. Students also must demonstrate involvement in energy-related classroom, school or community activities or programs.

The deadline for applying for a scholarship is April 17.

Information about the scholarships is being distributed to area schools. To get an application package, visit ohioenergy.org.
