Pasadena Water and Power opens 2026–27 scholarship applications, awards up to $5,000
Summary
Pasadena Water and Power announced two 2026–27 scholarship opportunities: a $1,000 utility trade scholarship for Pasadena students in Southern California trade programs and two high-school awards (first place $5,000, second place $2,500). Applications are due March 27, 2026.
Janine, with Pasadena Water and Power, announced that the utility is accepting applications for two scholarship programs for the 2026–27 academic year. The new utility trade scholarship will award one Pasadena student $1,000 to support enrollment in a technical or vocational utility trade program.
The utility’s annual educational scholarship for high school seniors will award two scholarships to students who attend a Pasadena high school and live within Pasadena Water and Power’s service territory: a first-place award of $5,000 and a second-place award of $2,500. Applicants for the high-school scholarships must submit a 3- to 5-minute video responding to the application prompt and provide academic transcripts. Applicants may not be considered for both scholarships and those eligible for both are asked to choose one to apply for.
Janine said the deadline for both scholarship programs is Friday, March 27, 2026, and directed listeners to Pasadena Water and Power’s website for full guidelines. The transcript provided a URL (pwpeb.com/scolarship) that appears to contain a typographical error; applicants should locate the scholarship information through Pasadena Water and Power’s official website or contact the utility for the correct link.
“We look forward to seeing your submissions,” Janine said.
Pasadena Water and Power did not provide additional details in the announcement about selection criteria, number of finalists, or whether the $1,000 trade scholarship is restricted to Pasadena residents who study in Southern California institutions (the announcement described both Pasadena residency and study at a Southern California technical or community college). Interested students and families should consult the utility’s web page or contact PWP directly for clarifications and full application rules. The announcement concluded without a public Q&A or vote.
