Funding for the future
SSE Renewables Scholarship Funds
In addition to community funding, SSE Renewables provides funding supports from some of our larger wind farms in England, Ireland and Northern Ireland to help students progress towards further education.
Our Scholarship programmes were created to help local students with their student fees and expenses whist creating a pool of well-trained and experienced professionals, transforming career prospects in regional communities and positively impacting future generations.
The Scholarships focuses on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in a bid to help fulfil employment demands in these fields.
