EDISON INTERNATIONAL LINEWORKER SCHOLARSHIP
Being a lineworker is a demanding yet rewarding profession where you are on the front lines of delivering power and keeping the lights on for our communities. This isn’t a 9-to-5 desk job. Lineworkers work outdoors in all weather conditions, day and night.
As the grid evolves to support increased demand, the need for lineworkers will grow. If you’re ready to launch your career in the lineworking field, consider applying for an Edison International Lineworker Scholarship.
The scholarship helps develop the next generation of skilled trade workers by awarding up to $25,000 per recipient to cover the cost of tuition, tools and support services, such as housing, transportation and childcare, to complete Los Angeles Trade-Technical College’s Powerline Worker: Pole Climbing Certificate program and obtain a Class A commercial driver’s license.
Recipients are eligible for a full-time, entry-level skilled trade position at Southern California Edison, once they complete the certificate program, obtain a Class A license and fulfill pre-employment requirements.
The Lineworker Scholarship is funded by Edison International shareholders and IBEW Local 47, and is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations and individuals.
