Troy, NY - The deadline is fast approaching for applications to the Eden Renewables annual scholarship program with a total value of $16,000.  Eden is a community solar farm developer based in Troy. High school seniors graduating from schools in communities which host Eden’s solar developments (see list below) and pursuing a career in fields that benefit the environment are invited to apply for ‘Green STEAM’ scholarships until May 20th.

Eden’s Green STEAM Scholarship was established in 2019 to encourage and support students interested in environmental careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). So far, Eden has awarded $17,000 to 10 seniors attending Argyle, Duanesburg, Fonda-Fultonville, Hoosic Valley, Ichabod Crane, Maple Hill Junior-Senior, and Troy City High Schools, majoring in subjects such as Environmental Design, Environmental Science, Marine Biology and Wildlife Conservation.
