Congratulations to the PV Grant Awardees of SEF’s 2008 Solar Scholars™ Program

Sustainable Energy Fund’s 2008 Solar Scholars™ conference at Dickinson College was a huge success! The following colleges and universities were selected to receive a $15,000 grant to support the design and building of a campus photovoltaic solar system which generates at least 3kW. Each of the PJM grid‐tied solar installations will produce energy to help power an academic building, student housing or other site on‐campus. Each of these schools attended a week‐long energy education conference this summer and made a commitment to integrate renewable energy studies into their school’s curriculum.
