Two Baltimore students, Akram Serubiri and Stefano Sivori, received full-ride college scholarships from the Exelon Foundation during a surprise event at the company's Baltimore headquarters. The scholarships, presented in partnership with Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE), cover full tuition, room, and board for up to four years and are awarded to alumni of Exelon's STEM Academy and Boys to STEM Academy who plan to pursue careers in engineering, business, finance, or information technology.

Why it matters

The Chris Crane Memorial Scholarship represents Exelon's highest honor within its STEM programming pipeline, supporting students who have demonstrated academic excellence, leadership, and a commitment to future careers in high-demand industries. By investing in students like Serubiri and Sivori, Exelon and BGE are building a diverse pipeline of talented leaders prepared to shape the future of the energy sector and beyond.

The details

Serubiri and Sivori arrived at the Exelon headquarters believing they were attending a final in-person interview, but were instead met with applause, celebration, and the life-changing news that they had been selected as the newest recipients of the prestigious scholarship. The surprise celebration featured remarks from Tamla Olivier, along with members of Exelon and BGE's executive leadership teams, and the students were formally recognized with certificates and celebrated during a networking reception with leaders in the energy industry.
