IEC Memorial ScholarshipEach year the Illinois electric cooperatives award academic scholarships to high school seniors.Seven scholarships of $1,250 each were awarded in 2010 to eligible high school seniors through the Illinois Electric Cooperative (IEC) Memorial Scholarship Program. Four scholarships are awarded to students who are the sons or daughters of an Illinois electric cooperative member receiving service from the cooperative. A fifth scholarship, the Earl W. Struck Memorial Scholarship, is awarded to a student who is the son or daughter of an Illinois electric cooperative employee. The sixth and seventh scholarships are reserved for students enrolling full-time at a two-year Illinois community college who are the sons or daughters of Illinois electric cooperative members, employees or directors. Candidates are judged on the basis of grade point average, college entrance exam scores, work and volunteer experience, school and civic activities, and a short essay that demonstrates their knowledge of electric cooperatives. Information is included in the Illinois Country Living each fall. Applications can be obtained by calling our office in the fall each year. |
