Emmeline Clougherty is the PWP Educational Scholarship first-place winner. Her essay explored the sustainable and reliable advantages of electrification in the community, and reflected on actions governments around the world, including Pasadena, are taking to incentivize citizens to be more thoughtful about electrification. Emmeline plans to attend the University of California, Berkeley in the fall to study environmental policy.
Londyn Sewell
Londyn Sewell is the PWP Educational Scholarship second-place winner.

Each year, PWP chooses two high school seniors from Pasadena for an academic scholarship. First place is awarded $5,000, and second place is awarded $2,500. The program is open to high school seniors who reside in PWP’s service area and plan to enroll as full-time students at accredited post-secondary institutions in the upcoming academic year.
