The Brownsville Public Utilities Board is now accepting applications for its annual Project SHARE Scholarship. Ten qualifying students will receive $1,000 scholarships in their pursuit of higher education.

Constellation Renewables Partners has assisted in funding these scholarships in recent years. Constellation Renewable Partners also operates the Sendero Wind Farm from which BPUB receives all of the electricity generated.

To qualify for the Project SHARE Scholarship, an applicant must:

• Be a graduating high school student
• Live in a household with a minimum of one year of utility service with BPUB at the application deadline date
• Attend an accredited institution of higher education in the United States

The Project SHARE Scholarship is entirely online. All majors qualify for the Project SHARE Scholarship. Students may apply for the scholarship at bpubscholarship.com.

The deadline to apply is March 6 at 5 p.m. Once the scholarship recipients are selected, BPUB will send their funds directly to the appropriate financial aid office for disbursement.
