FirstEnergy Foundation Energizing the Future of STEM, Electrical Trades Vocational school, community colleges receiving grants HOLMDEL, N. J. , Nov.
14, 2025 -- To inspire the next generation of electric industry professionals, the FirstEnergy Foundation is donating $55,000 to New Jersey educational programs focused on electrical trades and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programming. The grants are part of more than $5. 5 million in community support distributed across FirstEnergy's service area to date in 2025.
Five vocational school and community college programs, located in communities served by FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE) electric company Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), are directly benefiting from the donations. The FirstEnergy Foundation grants will support a variety of electrical education and STEM programs that benefit students at all levels, from elementary school through college.
Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President of New Jersey: "We live in an increasingly connected, high-tech society. We need to prepare the next generation to meet those demands, whether they are working on electrical systems, flying drones or engineering the next great device. STEM is a vital part of the future.
New Jersey has been at the center of innovation since the invention of the light bulb, and we're proud to help continue that great tradition in the communities we serve."
Programs receiving grants include: Brookdale Community College Foundation Trust, Monmouth County ($20,000): Funding will enhance seven electrical engineering lab stations used by more than 230 students for courses such as electronics, digital logic, industrial automation and embedded systems, circuit design and analysis, signal generation and measurement, safe power delivery and adjustable voltage testing.
Warren County College Foundation, Warren County ($15,000): The grant funds the Readiness Initiative for Safety & Education (RISE) program's drone training program, which works with local schools and police to offer free drone operator training and pilot certificates. Through RISE, 20 high school educators and 10 police officers will earn their FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate each year.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
