DAYTON – The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), and Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (Vectren), are offering three scholarships to high school seniors who plan to work in the energy industry.

Each $1,000 scholarship will be granted for college tuition and expenses to deserving students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, knowledge and an interest in continuing their studies by pursuing an energy-related career.

The scholarships will be facilitated by the Ohio Energy Project, a non-profit energy education organization that also works with DP&L and Vectren on their energy efficiency programs and activities, including the annual Energy Fair. The University of Dayton is host to the Energy Fair which allows high school students to teach younger students about energy efficiency through hands-on experiments and games.

Students applying for the scholarships must be graduating seniors and members of families who are DP&L or Vectren customers. Students must present involvement in energy-related classroom, school or community activities or programs.

The deadline for applying for a scholarship is April 15.

Information about the scholarships is being distributed to area schools. To obtain an application package, visit ohioenergy.org.
