Congratulations to the 2020 NextEra Energy Foundation FIRST Alumni Scholarship finalists: Hunter Free, Palm Beach Central High School; Rohan Jakhete, South Fork High; Anish Ravichandran, American Heritage School; Christian Urbanek, Pinecrest School; Corbin Weir, American Heritage School.
The NextEra Energy Foundation is proud to provide a scholarship opportunity to reward FIRST®students whose experience has inspired their interest in an engineering or information management career. One $5,000, renewable scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior who has two or more years in an FTC or FRC program in FPL's service area. A weighted cumulative GPA of 3.5 is required to apply and students must maintain a 3.0 GPA to renew each year.
Before the award is paid out, the winning student must be accepted to an accredited four-year college or university majoring in information science (or related field) or engineering.

Science Fairs
Science fairs are a great way to inspire young minds and future scientists. We support only district-wide science fairs with categories of energy or engineering. If your district would like to be considered for a science fair grant, send the appropriate paperwork to [email protected].
Due to the number of schools in our service area, we cannot provide grants or support to individual schools for their science fair activities.
