Two Carbon County Students Chosen for Cypress Creek Renewables’ Scholarship
Cypress Creek Renewables is pleased to announce that two Carbon County students were selected to receive a 2025 Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship award:
Jalin Burns – Carbon Career and Technical Institute
Cassandra Hager – Palmerton Area High School
Each student was awarded a one-time $2,500 scholarship to use towards tuition, housing, books or materials for their post-graduation program of choice. As part of the application process, students were asked to submit a short video responding to the question, “How does renewable energy affect your future?”
“The applications submitted by this year’s awardees showcased not only academic excellence but also remarkable creativity and passion,” said Sarah Slusser, CEO of Cypress Creek. “We are incredibly proud to recognize these outstanding students and have no doubt their futures are bright.”
The Energizing Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program was launched in 2023 to positively impact young people in the communities where Cypress Creek develops and operates solar and battery storage projects, as well as to encourage students to consider careers in renewable energy or other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields. This year, Cypress Creek was proud to expand the program to ultimately award scholarships to 46 students across 25 counties.
