JACKSON, Miss. — Entergy Mississippi is accepting applications for its Power Your Future Scholarship program, which supports current college undergraduates pursuing technology majors at select Historically Black Colleges and Universities and minority-serving institutions in Mississippi.
Applications are open through May 7, and up to 30 scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 will be awarded. The scholarships are funded by Entergy shareholders.
The program is administered by Scholarship America, the nation’s largest manager of scholarships and educational support programs, and is part of Entergy Corporation’s broader initiative, The Power of Prosperity.
The initiative is aimed at giving students and their families free access to financial resources that support the success of HBCU students and help promote generational wealth.
As part of that effort, Entergy has pledged $20 million over 10 years to support HBCUs and their students across its service areas in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The funding will go toward education enhancement, career readiness and workforce development programs.
“Entergy Mississippi is thrilled to offer the Power Your Future Scholarship as a means to empower the next generation of technology leaders,” said Haley Fisackerely, president and CEO of Entergy Mississippi. “By supporting students in their pursuit of higher education at HBCUs and minority-serving institutions, we are investing in an innovative future for our communities in Mississippi.”
Students interested in applying must submit required materials through Scholarship America by the May 7 deadline.
More information about the scholarship, including eligibility requirements and application details, is available through Entergy Mississippi.
