2024 First-Time Operation Round Up Scholarship Recipients
CWEC Electric Utility Worker Scholarship Information
Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative (CWEC) recognizes the importance of technical training for graduating high school seniors and educating youth about careers in their own communities. To encourage students to consider a career at an electric utility, and to create an incentive for trained electric utility workers to seek employment with electric cooperatives or other utilities, CWEC has established a scholarship in the amount of $1,000. The scholarship has been established to assist a student pursuing a technical college education in an electric program that lends itself to employment in the electric utility industry.
The scholarship is administered by the CWEC Operation Round Up Trust Committee. The committee will evaluate all applications and essay responses. The selection criteria will be based on scholastic achievement, school and community involvement, work history, and essay submission.
Scholarship payments will be made through the financial aid office of the recipient's chosen college. Fifty percent (50%) will be paid at the beginning of the school year and fifty percent (50%) following receipt of a letter and transcript from the student, to the committee, at the end of the first term.
