SoCalGas and TELACU announced October 19, 2022 $50,000 in scholarships to 14 first-generation Latino students pursuing higher education degrees in STEM.

One of the scholarship recipients, Geovanny Huerta, shared, “TELACU’s College Readiness Program and College Success Program have given me the opportunity to pursue higher education. I am grateful for the resources made available to me through the partnership between SoCalGas and TELACU, as they have prepared me for the next steps in my career. Without these programs and support, I would not have been able to land a summer internship.” He is currently studying Computer Science at Cal State LA.

SoCalGas’ partnership with TELACU is part of our company’s ASPIRE 2045 sustainability goals, which includes a commitment to invest $50 million to drive positive change in diverse and underserved communities over the next five years. Last year, SoCalGas donated $9.6 million to nonprofit organizations across its service area, including $2.3 million for educational causes.
