2025 Scholarship Recipients

Content Area

Valley Rural Electric Cooperative awarded 25 $1,000 scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year to high school seniors planning to enroll in post-secondary institutions.

The money to finance this initiative came from unclaimed capital credits refunds that previously had to be turned over to the state treasury. Thanks to the efforts of the cooperative’s political advocates, these resources were kept in co-op communities and used to assist consumers facing financial hardships, to support civic organizations, and to fund educational programs and scholarship.

The recipients of the scholarships are listed below. Congratulations to all of them.
