High School Seniors: EREC To Award Two $4K Scholarships
January 12, 2014
This April, EREC will award scholarships to graduating seniors in Escambia County and Santa Rosa County whose parent or guardian is a member of the cooperative. Two $4,000 scholarships, one in each county, will be offered.
Seniors in EREC’s service area should check with their high school guidance counselors or click here to download an application. Deadline to submit scholarship application is March 3. Winners will be announced at EREC’s Annual Meeting on April 26.
The students must show proof of enrollment and maintain a GPA of 2.5 to continue to receive the funds each year.
This is EREC’s 17th year of offering scholarships to high school seniors. In the past, those capital credits issued by EREC that were unclaimed had to be turned over to the state. But state legislation now allows such funds to be deposited into a qualified, educational charity fund. The EREC membership voted to use these funds in the form of scholarships for graduating seniors in EREC’s service area.
