PURPOSE
The American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) is a professional organization of African Americans in the energy industry. Through its Scholarship Program, AABE seeks to help increase the number of African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans (underrepresented minorities) in energy related fields. By doing so, we help our nation address a critical need and a challenge to our future economic vitality in the world market.

ELIGIBILITY
Candidates for an AABE scholarship must meet the following six (6) eligibility criteria:
1. The student must have an unweighted academic average of “B” of better (minimum 3.0 on a 4.0 scale).
2. Be a graduating high school senior who has applied to one or more accredited colleges/universities. (For Florida Chapter scholarships only, preference will be given to students who plan to attend an accredited college or university in Florida.)
3. Plan to major in business, one of the physical sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics fields in preparation for a career in the energy sector.
Example majors include but are not limited to the following academic disciplines:
 business - business administration, accounting, finance
 physical sciences - physics, chemistry, biology (energy-related/non-medical fields only), astronomy
 technology - computer science
 engineering - mechanical, electrical, computer, chemical, nuclear, environmental, civil, agricultural/biological, industrial, materials science
 mathematics - applied mathematics, all branches of mathematics
4. Be a member of one of a class or group of individuals who has been historically underrepresented in the sciences, technology, engineering and math related disciplines.
5. If applying for the Florida Chapter need-based scholarship, exhibits financial need and meets all other eligibility criteria. (Financial need is not a consideration for other Florida Chapter, regional, and national awards.)
6. If applying for any Florida Chapter scholarship, is a Florida resident or resides in an area where the Florida Chapter is the nearest AABE chapter.
Applications received from those who do not meet the eligibility criteria above will not be considered. Candidates may not apply for scholarships with more than one local chapter.

AWARDS
The Florida Chapter of AABE will award multiple scholarships to graduating high school seniors. Select local chapter applications are forwarded to compete for a Southeast Regional Award of $3,000. (The Southeast Region is one of six AABE Regions). Additionally, a Rufus D. Gladney Premier Award of $5,000 is given annually for a maximum of four years to the candidate who is judged to demonstrate the most outstanding achievement and promise. This is a national award. National and regional awards are distributed to the students upon presentation of proof of enrollment at an accredited college or university. Distribution of local chapter awards is done by the local chapter upon proof of enrollment at an accredited college or university.

 Free and open to the public
 
It takes lots of people with many different skills to run a zoo. Everyone knows that the Zoo has animal keepers and veterinarians but there are MANY MORE jobs that you probably didn’t think of.   Are you good at math and want to be an accountant?  We have those!  Are you the creative type considering becoming a graphic designer?  We have those too!  This is a special opportunity for elementary, middle, and high school students to learn about career opportunities within a Zoo.   Students will meet with a variety of Zoo professionals to learn about their careers and receive practical advice on how to prepare for the future.  Zoo staff will recommend college programs, discuss how volunteering, interning, and related work experience can give you an edge over other students and explain what they do in their day-to-day job duties.  The more you know about what positions exist, the easier it will be for you to plan your course of study and land that dream job! 
 
To help us gauge attendance, please RSVP at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QN53Y5D
