WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with BHE Foundation to offer a prestigious $200,000 BHE Foundation Emerging Leaders Scholarship Initiative aimed at supporting the academic and professional growth of underserved students.

In 2023, BHE Foundation awarded $25,000 in scholarships to 10 deserving students chosen from a highly competitive pool of applicants. This year, with an increased scholarship amount and more recipients, NSCS and BHE Foundation are set to make an even greater impact on the lives of underserved students.

The core objectives of the BHE Foundation Emerging Leaders Scholarship Initiative for the 2024- 2025 academic year are to provide financial empowerment, professional development and pathways to success. By empowering students through alleviating financial barriers, the initiative allows them to focus on their academic and professional aspirations. It offers resources and opportunities for students to develop their professional skills and enhance their career readiness. Additionally, the initiative will begin the journey for these students to achieve their long-term goals and succeed in their chosen fields. This initiative reflects the values of both organizations in promoting diversity and inclusion within the academic and professional spheres.

Key details of the 2025 BHE Foundation Scholarship Initiative:

  • Total Scholarship Amount: $200,000
  • Individual Scholarship Amount: $10,000
  • Total Recipients: 20 undergraduate students
  • Eligibility Requirements:
  • Must be an NSCS member
  • Minimum GPA of 3.4
  • Majors in STEAM fields, specifically Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Accounting, Business, Economics, Human Resources and Meteorology
  • Preference for students from low to moderate-income zip codes, engaged in community service and leadership, and from disadvantaged backgrounds (African American, AAPI, Hispanic, Military Veterans, LGBTQ)

Steve Loflin, Founder of NSCS, expressed his gratitude and excitement about the partnership: "We are incredibly grateful to partner with BHE Foundation to provide such a substantial sum to our members. Programs like these are truly transformational for underserved students, offering them not only financial support but also professional development and mentorship that can change the trajectory of their lives."

"As we look to the future, investing in diverse, high-performing students is not just a commitment to talent but innovation and growth. Offering scholarships to these rising leaders is a direct way to build a workforce that reflects the diversity of thought, experience and backgrounds that will drive success for many companies and industries. I'm pleased that the BHE Foundation provides this generous opportunity, further solidifying our dedication to nurturing the next generation of diverse talent." — Lemuel Levels, Chief Diversity Officer, Berkshire Hathaway Energy
