Launched in 2021, Green Lab Grants is an annual program with a
new set of awardees selected each year.
The Green Lab Grants program is one of several Exelon
initiatives that support education and workforce development. The
annual Exelon Foundation STEM Leadership Academy gives teen girls
ages 16-19 from diverse and low-income communities the opportunity
to learn from women working in STEM and other leaders; explore
sustainability, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and climate
change; and connect with like-minded peers. Through a $1 million
scholarship program launched in 2021, alumnae of the STEM
Leadership Academy may apply for scholarships to cover costs
associated with college. In addition, Exelon recently committed
$2.4 million in scholarships to 24 college freshmen selected for
the company’s HBCU Corporate Scholars Program, launched in
partnership with UNCF (United Negro College Fund) to provide
scholarship assistance, internship experiences and early-career
readiness training to students attending historically Black
colleges and universities.
Together, Exelon and its utilities—Atlantic City Electric, BGE,
ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco—have more than 65 unique
workforce development programs designed to bring economic equity,
empowerment and employment opportunity to under-resourced
communities.
