Edison International awards scholarship to Chino Hills High School Student to Study the STEM Fields Camille Schlesinger, a senior at Chino Hills High School, has been awarded a $40,000 scholarship offered by Edison International. She plans to pursue college studies in the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math). Camille is just one of 30 students from across Southern California to earn the scholarship. Camille Schlesinger stood among the lunch benches at Chino Hills High School shaking her head in disbelief. “I’m pretty much in shock right now,” she said. Camille had just learned she is one of 30 high school seniors across Southern California Edison’s (SCE) service territory named a 2014 Edison Scholar and the recipient of a $40,000 scholarship offered by Edison International, the parent company of SCE. Each scholar lives in or attends public or private high school in SCE’s service area and plans to pursue college studies in the science, technology, engineering or math fields, also known as STEM. Under the $1.2 million Edison Scholars Program, each student will be awarded a scholarship valued at $40,000 and paid over four years. For Camille, the scholarship will allow her to attend the school of her choice and pursue her dream career in computer science. “It wouldn’t have been possible without the scholarship,” she said, wearing an Edison Scholar medallion around her neck. “It’s so nice of Edison to give back and help us, so we can help you and help the world in return. This is fantastic. Thank you so much.” From SCE
