The Silicon Valley Power Sustainable Futures Program enhances college access through scholarships and networking opportunities for undergraduate students pursuing sustainability-focused studies and careers. Santa Clara University selects a cohort of undergraduate students each year for scholarships. This program is made possible through a generous grant from Silicon Valley Power (SVP), the City of Santa Clara’s municipal electric utility.
