Tenaska Virginia Partners, L.P., owner of Tenaska Virginia Generating Station, a 940-megawatt (MW) natural gas-fueled plant in Fluvanna County, Virginia, is now accepting applications for the Tenaska College Scholarship Program. Students graduating from Fluvanna County high schools are eligible to apply. The program will award four $2,500 scholarships.

Tenaska manages scholarship programs in communities where its power-generating facilities are located. To date, the company has awarded more than $1 million in scholarship funds nationwide.

“Tenaska remains focused on supporting students in their pursuit of higher education,” said Sam Graham, Plant Manager for Tenaska Virginia Generating Station. “We understand how meaningful education is for long-term success, and we’re grateful for the chance to support our local students.”

Candidates must be high school seniors graduating in the spring of 2026 who plan to enroll in an undergraduate course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school.

Scholarship information, including criteria and applications, is available online at tenaska.com/plantscholarships or through school guidance counselors. To be considered, applications must be submitted by March 6.

Recipients will be chosen based on a variety of criteria including academic achievement, demonstrated leadership, participation in school and community activities and financial need. A committee at Tenaska headquarters will select the scholarship recipients and announce the winners in the spring.

Tenaska has been awarding scholarships in Fluvanna County since the 2004-2005 school year. More than 115 Fluvanna County high school students have been able to further their education through this program.

In addition to scholarships, the Tenaska Virginia plant collaborates with local schools by providing educational tours, volunteering with the Envirothon club and other student groups, as well as donating time and resources to support science, technology, engineering and technology (STEM) programs in the public schools.

Today, the plant has 29 employees, 10 of which graduated from Fluvanna County high schools.
