Below are a few examples of Constellation’s investments to shape our future:
Youth Energy Summit (Y.E.S)
The Youth Energy Summit (Y.E.S.), hosted with the National Energy Education Development Project (NEED), is a weeklong program designed to inspire students by introducing them to clean energy careers through immersive experiences. In 2024, the program welcomed 66 students from Illinois, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Participants engaged in hands-on STEM activities, professional networking, and site visits to Constellation Clean Energy Centers, including Calvert Cliffs and Conowingo Dam. The program featured two tailored tracks:
Looking ahead to 2025, Y.E.S. will expand to include ongoing mentoring, networking opportunities, teacher workshops, and the introduction of a Youth Energy Summit Retreat for students who have completed two years of the program. Learn more and apply for the 2025 Youth Energy Summit.
“This was the best, most informative, fun week of my summer, and I wouldn't trade it for the world I think it was one of the most valuable experiences I have had in my educational career.”

Constellation Scholars
Constellation provides scholarships through various community organizations to help students achieve their dreams.
We're proud to feature three of our Constellation Scholars below:
Hometown: Washington, DC
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Nuclear Engineering
The generous scholarship Constellation awarded me will help support my education in nuclear engineering. During my six months as a co-op with Constellation, I gained insights into career options, and I was able to pinpoint exactly what I would like to do after I graduate. The experience expanded my knowledge by providing practical applications for the lessons I learned in the classroom as well as additional learning opportunities through the mentorship of professional engineers. I have been fortunate enough to be offered a position with Constellation in the Nuclear Fuels Department as a result of my co-op that will allow me to continue my personal and technical growth after graduation from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Hometown: Baltimore, Md
Lincoln University: Health Science and Nursing
“Earning this scholarship, for me, is about breaking generational curses. At first, I did not want to go to college. I come from a neighborhood where young people are not expected to be aspirational, let alone actually achieve goals. But when I began to think about the many accomplishments I made as a high school student, I then had a change of heart. Once I looked at all that I was able to achieve thus far, I changed my mindset and began to believe in myself
I am the youngest of 12 children and I am the first in my immediate family to attend college. Earning this scholarship from Constellation Energy means that I not only get to pursue my dreams, but it also allows for me to prove to myself, and to others, that despite the obstacles I may have faced, and no matter how many others may doubt my abilities, I can, and I will continue to reach my goals and successfully complete college. For my education does not just benefit me, but my education is the major key to my family’s success.
Hometown: Baltimore, Md
Carnegie Mellon University: Business
“Even after packing every single piece of clothing I had, it never clicked in my seven-year-old mind that the trip from the Dominican Republic to the United States wasn’t just a visit, but it was a permanent move that would change my life forever. Now, when I look back, I can’t believe how far I’ve come. I went from leaving the only home that I ever knew, struggling to learn the English language and adapt to a new country, to being accepted into Carnegie Mellon University and earning a scholarship from Constellation.”
“Growing up in an immigrant family, we have a budget that is very restricted, so earning this scholarship means everything to me. Being accepted into a university was great, but then I had to worry about how it would be paid for, but with this scholarship, it’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am the first in my family to attend college in the U.S., so having this financial help means that I have the option of not working while taking classes, so I can focus solely on school. With the help from Constellation, I’m that much closer to making my dreams a reality.”
Some of our scholarship programs include: Cordell Reed Trailblazer Scholarship, National The Cordell Reed Trailblazer Scholarship honors Cordell Reed who was the first and only black Chief Nuclear Officer under Constellation's predecessor operating our Illinois nuclear fleet, and was a significant influence for individuals from communities of color to pursue careers in energy and engineering. This named scholarship celebrates the legacy of his leadership. Four scholarships (two trade school, two traditional college) in the amount of $5,000 will be awarded each year. The Scholarship will be open to all students from IL, MD, PA, and NY pursuing Engineering, Technical, or Energy related studies. Learn more.
