The Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership has had a long-standing
commitment to education under the rubric of its capacity-building
initiatives. In 2001, the Partnership reinforced this commitment by
establishing the Education for Sustainable Energy Development (ESED)
scholarship program to support students from developing countries and
economies in transition.
The purpose of the ESED scholarship is to support outstanding

- graduates with excellent grades in the top 20% of her/his class
- is determined to advance her/his knowledge and understanding
- has a history of community involvement
- is committed to sustainable energy
- is committed to return and contribute to her/his home country
