As part of the academic curriculum in renewable and sustainable energy, Solar Scholars offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity for in-depth, hands-on study, training and research in the application of photovoltaic (PV) solar technology. The program offers funding and incentives to enable students to design, build, operate and maintain a solar system of significant impact on their campus, for which they will receive academic credit.

Successful student applicants get financial sponsorship to attend a training and certification workshop on applied photovoltaics and the participating schools will be able to offer a state-of-the-art, Internet-based academic curriculum on solar and other clean energy methods.

Those participating partner schools include Bucknell University, Clarion University, Mercyhurst College, Messiah College, The Pennsylvania State University, and Villanova University.
