CWEC Electric Utility Worker Scholarship Information
Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative (CWEC) recognizes that the electric utility industry is facing a large shortage of utility workers in coming years. To address the forecasted shortage of electric utility employees and to encourage students to consider a career in an electric utility, CWEC has established a scholarship in the amount of $1,000. The scholarship has been established to assist a student pursuing a post-secondary education in an electric utility worker program.
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.
