Report
BACKGROUND
On June 7, 2022, the City of Santa Clara City Council unanimously approved the Silicon Valley Power Sustainable Futures Scholarship Fund (SVPSF) aimed at providing scholarships to future leaders in sustainability, clean energy, and related fields. The goal of the program is to develop a pipeline of strong, diverse future leaders in sustainability and clean energy sectors.
The innovative, five-year program with Mission College is funded by a $125,000 grant from Silicon Valley Power (SVP) and is designed to expose students to skill sets that allow them to compete for emerging green jobs. The skill requirements in the green jobs sector are expanding rapidly, particularly in the Bay Area, where energy, sustainability and climate drivers are leading the way in accelerating this field. Selected students use the funds to attend and receive advanced opportunities at Mission College.
