About

There is no greater threat to our lives and our livelihood than climate change. Modernity itself was built on cheap energy from fossil fuels but now those fuels are responsible for an ecological catastrophe. You can help solve the most pressing issue of our time, and SmartSolar wants to help you on that mission.

At SmartSolar, we believe in living sustainably—and that doesn’t mean giving up the comforts of life! There are small choices we can make each day that won’t have a negative impact on the earth, and we want to reward one student who strives to make these good choices.

Climate change won't be solved by thinking small—but it can't be solved by dreams alone. For this scholarship, we will be selecting a recipient who actively fights against climate change and has goals for how to combat it in the future.
