"The coolest thing I learned this week was that there are many different routes and backgrounds that can lead to a career in the energy industry. One of the highlights of the Youth Energy Summit was job shadowing, which gave me a firsthand look at a profession I had never considered before and helped broaden my understanding of the opportunities available in the field. Visiting Nine Mile Point and learning about the plant's operations was another memorable experience that helped me gain valuable knowledge about the energy industry. This program is unimaginable. If you're interested in energy, this is the program for you. The people are amazing, you'll make lifelong friends, and you'll leave with new connections, new knowledge, and a greater understanding of the opportunities within the energy industry."

"I learned how a nuclear power plant uses small uranium pellets to generate energy through a carbon-free process. My favorite activity was meeting new people and learning how a closed-loop process is key to the energy industry during peak days when the energy demand is high. The Youth Energy Summit is not just a summit, it is a door that opens new opportunities, relationships, and career paths. Throughout the experience, I only experienced positive interactions. The mentors were extremely friendly, and the environment was kind, encouraging, supportive, and welcoming. The Summit provided valuable insight into energy and leadership, and it felt like a family."

Constellation Scholars
Constellation provides scholarships through various community organizations to help students achieve their dreams. We're proud to feature three of our Constellation Scholars below:
Hometown: Washington, DC
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Nuclear Engineering
The generous scholarship Constellation awarded me will help support my education in nuclear engineering. During my six months as a co-op with Constellation, I gained insights into career options, and I was able to pinpoint exactly what I would like to do after I graduate. The experience expanded my knowledge by providing practical applications for the lessons I learned in the classroom as well as additional learning opportunities through the mentorship of professional engineers. I have been fortunate enough to be offered a position with Constellation in the Nuclear Fuels Department as a result of my co-op that will allow me to continue my personal and technical growth after graduation from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

“Earning this scholarship, for me, is about breaking generational curses. At first, I did not want to go to college. I come from a neighborhood where young people are not expected to be aspirational, let alone actually achieve goals. But when I began to think about the many accomplishments I made as a high school student, I then had a change of heart. Once I looked at all that I was able to achieve thus far, I changed my mindset and began to believe in myself
I am the youngest of 12 children and I am the first in my immediate family to attend college. Earning this scholarship from Constellation Energy means that I not only get to pursue my dreams, but it also allows for me to prove to myself, and to others, that despite the obstacles I may have faced, and no matter how many others may doubt my abilities, I can, and I will continue to reach my goals and successfully complete college. For my education does not just benefit me, but my education is the major key to my family’s success.

Carnegie Mellon University: Business
“Even after packing every single piece of clothing I had, it never clicked in my seven-year-old mind that the trip from the Dominican Republic to the United States wasn’t just a visit, but it was a permanent move that would change my life forever. Now, when I look back, I can’t believe how far I’ve come. I went from leaving the only home that I ever knew, struggling to learn the English language and adapt to a new country, to being accepted into Carnegie Mellon University and earning a scholarship from Constellation.”
“Growing up in an immigrant family, we have a budget that is very restricted, so earning this scholarship means everything to me. Being accepted into a university was great, but then I had to worry about how it would be paid for, but with this scholarship, it’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am the first in my family to attend college in the U.S., so having this financial help means that I have the option of not working while taking classes, so I can focus solely on school. With the help from Constellation, I’m that much closer to making my dreams a reality.”
