Scholarships

The Powerline Group is looking for creative individuals with a passion for technology who want to make a difference in the world and inspire those around them. That is why we are pleased to announce the Powerline Prodigies Student Scholarship program. Open to U.S. undergraduates enrolled full time at an accredited, two- or four-year school, the Powerline Group is offering two separate computer science, technology, digital design, or software development scholarships — one to an individual attending a Long Island, NY college/university and the other to any student nationwide. The two selected students will receive a total of $5,000 (USD) each for the 2018-2019 school year to be applied toward tuition.

At the Powerline Group, we know that technology isn’t just the future, it’s the now. The Powerline Prodigies Scholarship was established to help aspiring techies excel in their field now so that they can make a better, safer world for us all in the future.
