The American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) is a powerful organization that creates a national platform for the economic, social and political impact of environmental and energy policies that affect Black and minority communities. Their scholarship program aims to ensure that there will always be a group of African American professionals involved in governmental energy policymaking that will be fighting for the rights and necessities of urban and underserved communities.
They also aspire to encourage both the public and private sectors to be responsive to the problems, goals, and ambitions of African Americans in energy-related fields. They also encourage African American students to pursue careers in energy-related fields and provide scholarships and other financial assistance for such students.
Through the work of various members of the AABE National Scholarship Committee, Chapter Presidents, local Scholarship Committees, Regional Directors, and many AABE volunteers nationwide, the AABE Scholarship Program is promoted and applications are solicited from eligible applicants nation-wide.
The AABE local chapters review the applications received and select local scholarship recipients, from which the top-ranked applicants are forwarded to the National Scholarship Committee for consideration of regional and national awards.
The scholarship amount VARIES, and the deadline is usually in MARCH.
