Supporting education

We are proud to invest in local students and education through our scholarship program

ACCIONA implements an annual Scholarship Program at our sites when they enter the operations phase. Each year, we are proud to provide a one-time scholarship of $5,000 to a student wishing to undertake tertiary study that will benefit their community. Scholarship recipients are selected through an application process, and preference will be given to those studying engineering, science or agricultural based courses.
