Our move to equity begins with uplifting communities through education. We are determined to provide opportunities through direct community support, scholarships for underserved groups, advancing HBCUs, and with our founding partnership in the Propel Center. Learn how we are investing in our nation’s tomorrow, today.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities are institutions brimming with legacy and achievement. As we serve the communities we live in, investing in the future of HBCUs to create a more inclusive workforce is an imperative to Southern Company.
“Southern Company and its subsidiaries are investing $50 million in a multi-year initiative to provide students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities with scholarships, internships, leadership development and access to technology and innovation to support career readiness. “
Southern Company is proud to be a co-founder of the Propel Center, a global technology and innovation hub for students from 100-plus HBCUs. Our $25 million investment will help grow Black entrepreneurship and provide much-need technology and innovation resources to the workforce of the future. “We are incredibly encouraged by the future possibilities presented through our support of HBCUs,” said Chris Womack, president of Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company. “By investing in better outcomes, we create new opportunities for the students of today to become the leaders of a more prosperous tomorrow.”
PROPEL was honored to support Black women at Essence Fest 2022 through our partnership with Janet Jackson and her Rhythm Nation Scholarship Fund! We look forward to opening up avenues for HBCU students to thrive through academic scholarships & career pathways.
