More than $250,000 is available through scholarships created and funded by PG&E's 11 employee resource groups (ERGs) and two engineering network groups (ENGs). These groups help advance a culture at PG&E where all coworkers are valued, included and supported. The funds are raised entirely through coworker donations, coworker fundraising events and the company's coworker giving program.

These scholarships are awarded annually to help offset the cost of higher education. ERG and ENG scholarship winners will each receive awards ranging from $1,000 to $6,000 for exemplary scholastic achievement and community leadership.  

PG&E ERG and ENG scholarship information, including criteria and applications, is available on PG&E's website. To be considered for a scholarship, all applications must be submitted by March 22, 2025.

This scholarship will significantly decrease my college tuition and lessen the need for student loans," said 2024 ERG scholarship recipient Donovan Jones, who will be majoring in pre-law and computer science at the University of Oregon.

"I am incredibly interested in using history to inform the future. I hope to be able to affect change in the world around me by studying what came before me," said 2024 ERG scholarship recipient Katherine Lopes, a history major at the University of California at San Diego.
