The "Become a CEZ Scholar" competition is one of CEZ's earliest initiatives to promote vocational education in Bulgaria. It started in 2012 as part of the schedule of the Ministry of Education and Science for national vocational competitions.

Over the years, the program has expanded, and CEZ now also provides scholarships for students, as well as orphans and half-orphans.
