Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors whose parent(s) or legal guardian are members of the cooperative receiving electric or natural gas/propane services.
Each January, information is mailed to guidance counselors at the high schools in the cooperative’s service territory. The scholarships are awarded at the Annual Meeting held in May.
