2022 Graduating High School Seniors Are Eligible for $2000 Award
FRANKLIN, Ind. – Local electric cooperative JCREMC is accepting applications through Feb. 1 for its 2022 Academic Scholarship Program.
Now in its 28th year, the program encourages high school seniors to further their education while promoting awareness of the importance of the cooperative business model. JCREMC will present $2,000 scholarships to two seniors who will attend an Indiana college, university, or trade school in the fall of 2022.
“We hope JCREMC members will encourage their graduating seniors to apply for these scholarships to help offset the costs of higher education,” said John W. Sturm, JCREMC’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to support students as they gain the skills and knowledge needed to take their places in today’s workforce.”
Eligible applicants must graduate in 2022, plan to attend an Indiana college, university, or trade school, and have a current grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. They must also have a JCREMC consumer-member as a parent or legal guardian. To apply, students will submit the application form and statement of applicant, supply a copy of their high school transcript, and submit an essay on electrification of America. The application deadline is February 1, 2022. For more information, visit https://jcremc.com/community/academic-scholarships/.
The JCREMC Board of Directors will make the final selection of scholarship winners and will recognize them as part of the cooperative’s 2022 Annual Meeting on Saturday, April 2, 2022. Questions regarding the scholarship should be directed to the scholarship program administrator at 317-736-6174.
