Electric Utility Worker Scholarship

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.
