2022 Scholarship Focus
Saving energy is important to a sustainable future. Converting to LED lighting is one way to save energy, yet there are several commercial businesses or government properties that are still using outdated technology. How would you convince a business owner or property manager that is still using old technology (ex. fluorescent, metal halide, incandescent) to convert their property to LED? Are there any partnerships or organizations that can help with your goal?
If you’re a student interested in finding a better way, and you meet the following eligibility requirements, we’d love to receive an application from you.
