National Grid and Syracuse University’s Office of Pre-College Programs have partnered to inspire the next generation of innovators through the National Grid Summer College Scholars Program.

The program will support selected Syracuse City School District high school students for the next three summers, providing access to college-level learning focused on STEM and energy literacy through the Summer College – On Campus program.

“We are looking to tomorrow as we partner with Syracuse University to invest and develop the skills and mindsets of the next generation of engineers today,” says John Pettigrew, global chief executive officer for National Grid.
