How to Apply

The 2025 GE Vernova STAR Scholarships application cycle is closed on April 10, 2025.

CLOSED

The Employee Eligibility Questionnaire must be completed by a parent/guardian in order for your child to access the online or paper application. Once you submit this form, your child will be sent a link giving them access to IIE’s online application system in order to complete an application online in English or Spanish or to download a PDF application in Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese.

In addition to the online application form, the following must also be submitted by the deadline:

  1. The most recent (3-4 years) transcript of grades/academic record provided by the school. If you are unable to submit an official transcript with your application electronically, please upload an unofficial transcript with your online application. Then have a copy of your official transcript mailed with a postmark by the deadline.
  2. Reference Reference form and letter. An emailed request for a letter of recommendation will be sent to your recommender through the online application system at the time of application. The email will provide directions to the recommender regarding how to upload their letter to your online application. Your required reference can be completed by a teacher, counselor, employer, etc. who is familiar with your academic record and/or work and volunteer experience. Please note that this cannot be completed by a family member (for more information, please check FAQs).

* IIE is unable to accept any of the above documents or full application packages via email or fax.

The application deadline is April 10, 2025. The letter of recommendation deadline is April 23, 2025. Online applications and supporting materials must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Late submissions and incomplete application packages will not be considered. There is no appeal process.
