Purpose of Award: The Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments (DEED)program is dedicated to improving the operations and services of public power utilities by supporting and demonstrating its members’ innovative activities through research, funding and education. Goals of the scholarship program are to introduce students to career opportunities in public power, support students entering technical programs and majors in short supply and high demand by the utility industry, and to provide assistance to DEED-members that sponsor scholarships. A key benefit of utility membership in DEED is the ability to apply for an intern to work at your utility using DEED scholarship funding. Students may also apply for DEED scholarships directly, although in most cases they will need a DEED member to sponsor their application.
