How CWEEL Can Help Fund Your Education
AEE FOUNDATION
Since 1983 the Foundation of the Association of Energy Engineers with its Scholarship Program had encouraged qualified scholars in energy management, energy engineering, and sustainability to further education in these fields. At FAEE we are proud to support energy and sustainability engineers who are eager to make a positive and meaningful difference in the world by investing in their educational future.
The AEE Foundation (FAEE) is a 501©(3) non-profit organization that has awarded more than $950,000 in scholarships to date.
CWEEL SCHOLARSHIP
The Council on Women in Energy & Environmental Leadership, a division of AEE, offers industry leaders opportunities to build awareness and increase support for growing the minority presence in the energy efficiency and sustainability industry. Show your support for CWEEL’s work to empower and promote women’s success by donating to CWEEL's scholarship fund.
