Exelon Foundation STEM Leadership Academy Scholarship Winners
The Exelon STEM Leadership Academy is a free, week-long experience for current 10th and 11th grade teen girls from diverse and low-income communities held each summer in the Philadelphia, Washington, D.C./Baltimore and Chicago metro regions. The STEM Leadership Academy Scholarship is designed to be a supportive and clear pathway from student engagement in the academy to entry into the energy workforce, ideally as an Exelon employee. Launched in 2021, the scholarship is available to STEM Leadership Academy alumnae who are graduating from high school in 2022 or who have already begun their post-secondary education at a two- or four-year educational institution.

The Exelon STEM Leadership Academy Scholarship recipients of 2022 are:
