Edison International Linework Scholarship Grant

The Edison International Linework Scholarship, launched in 2021, aims to empower diverse individuals to pursue careers as lineworkers at SCE. This program offers scholarships up to $25,000 for tuition and necessary tools at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. Applicants must be at least 18, hold a valid driver’s license, and enroll in the Powerline Mechanic Certificate Program. Preference is given to California residents and military veterans, fostering inclusivity within the skilled trades.

In 2021, Edison International and Southern California Edison launched the Lineworker Scholarship Program, in partnership with IBEW Local 47, to provide opportunities for a diverse range of people to become SCE lineworkers. The program awards scholarships up to $25,000 per recipient and is funded by Edison International shareholders and IBEW Local 47. The program covers the cost of tuition, tools and support services needed to complete required training at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. Graduates are eligible for entry-level skilled trade positions at SCE once they complete the Powerline Mechanic Certificate program, obtain a Class A driver’s license and complete SCE pre-employment requirements. The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations and individuals. The program is about a 12-month commitment.
