Established to expand access to workforce development opportunities in the renewable energy field, MREA’s Rise Up Scholarships provide recipients with free, industry-leading solar technical training and paid internship opportunities.
Through this program, scholarship recipients will participate in courses designed to take them from introductory basics to advanced, hands-on solar training. With no prerequisites or previous experience required, the Rise Up Scholarship Training Program provides recipients a springboard into the renewable energy field, qualifying graduates to design, sell, install, and maintain solar systems in a supervised capacity.
