NextEra Energy Scholarship for Black Students in SECME
As part of our commitment to STEM education, ten graduating high school seniors who have at least one year of experience in SECME will be awarded a scholarship up to $20,000. The reward will be $5,000 per year, renewable for up to three years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first.
This scholarship will help further our state’s future leaders as they pursue a higher education and is part of FPL’s commitment to support our communities to help make them better places to live, work and raise a family. The recipients of this scholarship must plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college or university for the entire upcoming 2021-2022 academic year.

FIRST® Robotics Scholarship
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 3.0 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 Maureen.Wilt@FPL.com.
Due to the number of schools in our service area, we cannot provide grants or support to individual schools for their science fair activities.
