Battery Council International (BCI) is the leading trade association representing the global battery industry and is the premier authority on energy storage solutions.
Scholarships created in honor of Battery Council International's 100th anniversary help support next generation of industry leaders
The BCI Foundation was formed in recognition of Battery Council International's 100th anniversary on March 21, 2024, to support the next generation of leaders in the energy storage industry. The Foundation's BCI Battery Chemistry and STEM Scholarship supports individuals studying electrochemistry, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or a related technical discipline that will support energy storage applications.
"BCI's members have a long history of charitable support in communities across the U.S., and our Board of Directors wanted to build on that legacy," said BCI President and Executive Director Roger Miksad. "We congratulate these students on the hard work they put in to earn these scholarships, and we thank everyone who donated so generously to the BCI Foundation to make these scholarships possible."
This year's BCI Battery Chemistry and STEM Scholarship recipients are Gordon Jarrold of Champaign, Ill., and Linttavia Taylor of Independence, La.
The BCI Foundation is a stand-alone 501(c)(3) charitable entity. Initial funding for the Foundation was due to contributions from BCI member companies including Banner, C&D Trojan, Clarios, Crown Battery, Daramic, Duncan, East Penn, EnerSys, ENTEK, GS Yuasa, Leoch Battery, Moura, Rolls Battery Engineering, Stryten Energy, Superior Battery, and U.S. Battery Manufacturing Company.
The BCI Foundation scholarships are administered by the University of the Aftermarket Foundation, a group dedicated to providing funding for aftermarket education programs and research.
